PUBLISHER'S PAGE
• List among my pet peeves: Restaurants that offer "white meat turkey"
on their menus, then serve turkey roll ... Airlines that arrive so late that you
miss your connecting flight, yet they're not obligated to give you a refund; but
just you arrive late and they have the right to give your seat away ... New York
taxis that are so dilapidated their shock absorbers are virtually gone, and you
feel as though you're in an eggbeater. Why can't -- fares be discounted according
to the comfort of the ride? You'd see some pretty fast tune-ups ... Television
commercials that are downright misleading, like the one that ends with the line,
"Without chemistry, life itself would be impossible." Comparing the
body's natural chemistry with dangerous, even fatal, pesticides and other chemicals
is like comparing apples to carrots.
• Apropos of that last gripe, I hope you had an opportunity to read the
first article in Gallery's new Environmental series; it appeared in last month's
November issue. It led with a summary of the most shocking government report I've
ever had the misfortune to see: Global 2000. When I was first shown that summary
in its original manuscript form of about 40 pages, I took it home over one weekend—and
cannot remember ever being so frightened out of my wits! Here was a report, requested
in 1977 by President Carter, completed in 1980, and representing the most authoritative
data available to the entire Executive Branch ... and among the projections outlined
for us simple folk to expect only 20 years from now are: twice as many people
crowding the globe; less food and water available; the extinction of some 20 percent
of the species living today; a demand for energy that exceeds even the world's
total production capability; substantial destruction of the atmosphere's ozone
layer that protects us from the sun's cancer-causing rays, etc., etc., etc. And
here's the clincher: the report states that this catastrophic situation may already
be beyond prevention. Only if all the world's leaders get together immediately
on a global cooperative plan do we stand even a chance of averting disaster. Question:
Did you hear a word about any of this at either of the political conventions?
• Picked up during a recent visit to Boise, Idaho: the origin of the name,
Owyhee Mountains. Seems back in the Gold Rush days, two sailors from a Hawaiian
vessel jumped ship in Boise and took off to make their fortune out in the hills.
What they didn't know was that those "hills" marked the beginning of
a no-man's land of rattlesnakes, scorching desert and other not-so-niceties. Our
friends were never again heard from, but locals named the "hills" after
them with a bastardized version of the word "Hawaii."
• Also from Boise, this true story about a recent confrontation between
a group of Oregon farmers and a young lady representing the Sierra Club. Confronted
with a serious problem of coyotes killing the farmers' sheep, the Sierra rep suggested
that—rather than slaughter the coyotes—some arrangement be made to
simply castrate them, thus controlling the spread of their population. Whereupon
one farmer stood up and explained, "Look, lady, you've got it all wrong.
The coyotes aren't fucking the sheep, they're killing 'em!"
With that good-natured poke at the Sierra Club—an organization whose aims
and accomplishments have our enduring support—we'll close the pad this month.
Until January, then...
