SED #3.1 and 3.2

i have two versions of the latest headword. the first is based upon the sentry edition of archibald macleish's 'j.b.' the mid-sixties printing features a mesmerizing cover design by walter lorraine, which is made all the more pleasing by the rough texture of that era's sentry editions. the second version was also inspired by lorraine's design, which features a photograph of two men with a slew of balloons and was made for the original broadway performance of 'j.b.' anyway, credit where credit is due. so, i guess, props to the random turkish guy holding the balloons in this one.

the headword comes from garrett mattingly's 'the armada,' a history of the defeat of the spanish armada and the several years of events which led to that occurrence. my copy of 'the armada' is also a sentry edition, though without such a striking cover design. enough of the [surely] boring babbling. the headword, in both glories:

in retrospect, i find the first to be really shitty; it simply can't hold a candle to its inspiration. oh well. the second:
