What if…
New Orleans Review (v31n2) opens with this quote from James Whitehead in New Orleans Review, volume 1 number 4, summer 1969:
“What if the planet is being ruined by smoke and gas and oil? What if we’re killing the whales and eagles: killing even our natural symbols? What if shortly, by way of waste or the bombs, we don’t have us a good ole planet around any more? Where do we stage our tragedy and comedy then?”
