Now & Then
M O ’ S tu ff
We have been having an exciting winter
here on the edge, as you might have noticed
M other Ocean is reclaiming a lot o f land up
and down the coast, not just the imfamous
’Capes’ development in Ocean City. We
would like to offer our sympathy to the
families who own those homes that might
soon slide into the sea Granted, they made
some expensive mistakes in judgement,
mistakes most o f us w ill never have the
opportunity to make, and they are obviously
’rich folks' by most standards. That does not
in anyway change the way they must feel
when they see their dreams destroyed
Economic circumstances, and social
standing alone neither qualify them for
scom or disqualify them from compassion
They obviously share our love for the beauty
o f the coast, and share the risk that we all
face livin g on the edge. The noticable
absence o f former Senator Hatfield in the
debate over his 'San Clemente'is to be
respected. It seems he stands in good
company w ith Oswald West, Tom McCall,
and John Kitzhaber. "This is Oregon, the
beaches belong to the people."
W hich brings us to Coast Watch We
have mentioned this organization before;
people 'adopt' a m ile o f the Oregon Coast
and report at least four times a year on any
changes in their mile. This provides data to
see changes and could help stop problems
like 'The Capes' from happening. It's simple
to get involved, you don't have to live on the
edge, just visit the same m ile four times a
year and write a report. We, here at the
Upper Left Edge, are proud to say we have
adopted mile 3 11 (see map below). This
year the last m ile was finally assigned! Don't
let that stop you! You can jo in others who
are watching your favorite stretch o f beach.
The more eyes and inform ation, the better.
Please jo in us by contacting Coast Watch,

Correction Last month we discribed
fnend professor David Horowitz as a
"conservative Historian" which is only
partially correct He is more conservative
than you beloved editor, but is not to be
confused with the other David Horowitz,
former activist and creator o f Ramparts
magazine, who, "now reacts to his past by
resorting to hysterical attacks on African-
Americans, Arabs, Jewish peace activist and
progressives, who violate his born-again
nationalism and reactionary views." Our
David is much nicer And he wrote us to say
it was not uncommon that people confuse
them The FBI and his late father both did
on occasion I f you would like to find out
what 'our' David is like you can read his
books, "Beyond Left and Right: insurgency
and the Establishment (1997) or a text book
he co-authored, titled (no kidding) "On the
Edge: The U S. in the 20th Century (1998).

It was touch and go there for a while but it
looks like the 'Step-Mother o f all Battles' has
been avoided, or at least postponed for a
w hile, due to the work o f the UN, and a lots
o f other folks, thanks. We are reminded o f
one o f our favorite anti-war songs that Pete
Seeger sings, "Last night I had the strangest
dream, I never dreamed before 1 dreamed
the w orld had all agreed to put and end to
war I dreamed I saw a mighty room and the
room was fille d w ith men, and the paper
they were signing there, said they'd never
fight again. The people in the streets below
were dancing round and round, and swords
and guns and uniforms where scatted on the
ground." So, i f you want to dance round and
round, Oregon PeaceWorks is having it's
annual "Give Peace a Dance" March 14th
(Einstien's Birthday) from one in the
afternoon until M idnight in the Micah
Building at 680 State Street in Salem,
Oregon. It costs $6 to $12, depending on

I would like to see all editors of papers and magazines agree to print the truth and
nothing but the truth, to avoid all slander and misreprentation, and to let the
private affairs of the people alone.
