WAYNE CURTIS,
who lives in New
Orleans, is a freelance
journalist and con-
tributing editor for
The Atlantic
. Among
the many and varied
subjects he covers,
cocktails, architecture
and cultural tourism are
three of his favorites—
which made working
on this issue’s Chicago-
themed Food & Drink
section (page 33) “more
or less like hitting the
trifecta,” he says.
Game On
EVEN THE MOST
athletically disinclined
among us can’t help but get excited about
the 2012 SummerOlympics, due to take place
in London this July. To put you in the spirit,
Hemispheres
kicks off its Olympic coverage
this month with a profile of U.S. sprinter
Allyson Felix (whose own brother, while
clearly proud, can’t resist
sneaking in a good-natured
knock about how clumsy
shewas as a kid). In the com-
ing months we’ll bring you more profiles of
theworld’s best athletes, alongwith a hearty
dose of trivia and history. And, as always, be
sure to download
Hemispheres
’ free interac-
tive iPad app for evenmore great stories and
photos, plus audio and video bonus features.

JOSH COCHRAN
grew up in Taiwan but
now lives in Brooklyn,
N.Y., where he illustrates
for a diverse roster
of clients, including
Facebook, Nike and
Time
. While Cochran
enjoyed creating the
artwork for this month’s
Greek marathon story
(“Running Man,” page
72), he says, “I’ve come
to the realization that
I love
drawing
people
running more than
running in real life.”
MICHELLE BANGERT
is a freelance writer in
New York City, where
she recently earned a
master’s in journalism
from CUNY. An avid
traveler who has eaten
gelato in Korea, hung
out with goats in Ghana
and accidentally set her
clothes on fire in the
Czech Republic, Bangert
looked closer to home
for her story on a one-
of-a-kind Manhattan
auction (“Strength of
Characters,” page 23).
