An article about two alabaster statues carved in 1943 as exact replicas of the average American man and woman. The statues were the work of Robert Latou Dickinson. Known best for his three-dimensional gynecological models, Dickinson was dubbed the "Rodin of Obstetrics." The unveiling of the sculptures included a national contest to find a man and woman who perfectly represented the nation's average. Published in Cabinet Issue 15 (Fall 2004).
