In Lewis Mumford's "The Pentagon of Power" (1970) he foresaw what the onrushing tsunami of information would do. Here he is on that: "Without... self-imposed restraints the over-production of books will bring about a state of intellectual enervation and depletion hardly to be distinguished from massive ignorance."

Photo and caption by my brother Paul: August 1971. A car that today you'd most likely see as a rusting hulk in a junkyard or vacant lot, and clothes in a Goodwill. My brother and sister-in-law pose with their 1967 Datsun Bluebird parked on my father's garage ramp on Walnut Avenue in Larkspur, California. All kidding aside, I think they're both pretty snappily dressed, and her expression is pricelessly inscrutable. My Kodachrome slide.

1. We agree that poetry is the deliverance of the English language or to that effect.
2. You met the Kogis in person - which (still) blows my mind; And that's a good thing!
