It’s almost impossible to read this (echoes of the very earliest issues of the magazine), but it says “Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”. Remember, in those days we were working blind, with no on-screen view of what the page would look like, and no proofs either (apart from the front cover where the budget covered a proof, but not making any changes if we didn’t like what we saw).
The caption on the bottom picture reads: “Worcester on a rainy night. Go for a skate, then down the pub. Paul Atkins.”
The top picture is from Mon’s ramp and I think it’s Jason Lunn. No caption, though.
