COVER: Vincent Van Gogh's Portrait of Dr. Gachet captures the resignation and despair that characterized his last physician. Gachet touches a sprig of foxglove (a medicinal herb symbolic of his profession) and stares with devastating pathos into the void. As Ted Morgan observes in an article beginning on page 4, the doctor's torment awakened his patient's compassion. But Gachet, through his negligence, may have caused Van Gogh's death.
