Summer:  Summer 1992 was a fairly simple concept.

Because of the definitive article about phone phreaking that was contained in this issue, the cover was an image of the Statue of Liberty holding a demon dialer and emanating colors that represented Blue Box and Red Box tones.

Hanging off Lady Liberty's crown is a baseball cap, a reference to a bizarre incident that took place in a St. Louis mall during the annual hacker gathering known as Summercon.  Apparently, wearing a baseball cap backwards at the mall was forbidden, which led to a group of hackers buying caps in that very same mall specifically to defy the rule, which caused a bit of a stir.

"Get Well Curtis" is written on one of the clouds in the sky, a message to Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels and outspoken critic of the police, who had been shot and seriously wounded earlier that year.

The mini-cover was comprised of an excerpt of a confidential Secret Service document we had obtained, which simply said "Secret Service CONFIDENTIAL."  We just wanted them to know we were watching.
