COVER STORY Brooke Shields isn't just ornamental; she's warm, funny and unaffected, as Contributing
Photographer Stephen Wayda discovered while shooting this month's cover. Produced
by Art Director Tom Staebler, the cover design is by Managing Art Director Kerig
Pope. Lee Ann Perry was the stytist and Ruthie Savin did Brooke's hair and make-up.
