Covered in Gold

Simon Bruty's photo of Olympic champ Michael Phelps on the cover of the current Sports Illustrated mimics the 1972 SI cover shot of Mark Spitz by Terry O'Neill. This is the fifth time Phelps has been on the magazine's cover, the most ever for a swimmer; Spitz comes in second with three. (Farther Off the Wall)
