TIME Photographer Neil Leifer spent 17 days in China and came back with many of the pictures that appear in the main cover story. Special Projects Art Director Tom Bentkowski, who, along with Deputy Art Director Irene Ramp, designed the cover package, commissioned the traditional Chinese characters that represent the one-word titles accompanying the pictures...
