Back in 1975, Ernest Callenbach wrote a little book which set the agenda for many ecology activists for the next 30 years, including the Green party in Germany.  Ecotopia is well worth re-reading.  The journalist William Weston goes to the west coast, where several states have seceded from the United States to form a sustainable community.  I did not know about this book during the 1970s while I was writing about the Fairall community in the second volume of Frameshifts, so it is of interest to compare notes, but I will leave that to readers.

          Here in Richmond, the presentations of The Fisher of the James continue with a performance in October.  Stop by if you’re in the neighborhood.  See the notice in the PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE.
