Cover illustration: Earth Day on April 22 is a celebration organized by environmentalists to remind the world's people of what we take for granted. This spectacular sunrise over Pekin on a March morning is symbolic of that celebration. Bill Kemp writes about the issues on the environmental agenda and what role the states are playing, specifically Illinois, beginning on page 13. The photograph is by Paul Beaty.
