The cover image is a photomicrograph (200× magnification) of superficial tonsillar squamous cells sampled by means of a tonsillar brush biopsy, which is an oropharyngeal “Pap-test equivalent.” The cytology specimens were stained with a Papanicolaou stain. Normal-appearing superficial tonsillar squamous cells are pictured. Cells stain different colors based on the nature of their keratins and other cytoplasmic proteins. See articles by Fakhry et al. (beginning on page 1378), Kreimer and Chaturvedi (beginning on page 1346), and Lingen (beginning on page 1350) for more information.
