Hello Seattle. This issue marks an historic turning point for us, as we simultaneously publish editions in both cities for the first time. Though matters of size, style and political philosophy often distinguish us, our commonality as two centers of a dynamic region impels us to take this big step. Driving through the lofty North Cascades this late summer, we were reminded of the many natural delights which drew and/or keep many of us here. From Crater Lake to Mt. Baker, from Lake Chelan to the Malheur, from the Olympics to Depoe Bay, we live in a veritable paradise. Lightly populated, its land largely accessible to the public, only the wearisome intrusion of sales tax serves to remind us of state boundaries. Yet the bounty and beauty is ever threatened, as we noted a few miles west of the Cascade Crest, passing first by the three well-maintained, terrain altering Seattle City Light dams, and then into the The CSQ’s specially designed transport plane ______winging its way toward Seattle.______ Magic Skagit itself, where a dreary overlayer of pollution brought a lovely day into human relief. Such problems require a joint approach, as energy impacts and bad air so quickly leap borders. A case in point, the WPPSS adventure, pulled all of us into its sticky web. Both private and public utilities, long used to the bountiful energy of our hydro-rich region, picked the nuclear solution just as its costs began spinning out of control. Washington’s Senator “Scoop” Jackson then pushed through the Northwest Regional Power Bill to make sure the greed and poor planning of a few individuals would be borne on many shoulders. We are also being asked to bear, as a region, the risks incumbent in our role as a major producer and deployer of armaments. In our pages recently, Historian William Appleman Williams pointed out that “surely the Pacific Northwest is as much a theater for ‘limited nuclear war' as Western or Eastern Europe. Boeing and Hanford are unquestionably as important as any Russian centers west of the Urals.” Seattle’s Catholic Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen, in his refusal to pay the “defense” half of his taxes, and this summer’s stop-Trident boat force offer us examples of positive responses. Reagan’s minions have recently been babbling about a “winnable nuclear war,” yet with the equivalent of one million Hiroshimas arrayed in battle position, it becomes apparent that a response is called for. The fact that Trident, Boeing, Hanford and Oregon’s Teledyne Wah Chang are major employers should never jade us to the ultimate aim of such production. The Clinton St. Quarterly intends to open up a dialogue about these and other issues. We will also examine, in zesty detail, the cultural life of our area. And as in the past, we will feature articles about the world beyond: France and Nepal, Brazil and El Salvador, New York and New Orleans. To say that we are a “regional” paper will hopefully never limit us to a provincial outlook. In fact, by tapping into the talents of writers and artists throughout the region, we fully expect to continue improving an already stimulating publication and attempting to redefine what can happen out here “in the provinces.” ■ DM Portland voters are once again facing an array of issues and candidates that could easily create confusion for even the most prepared citizen. While ultimately the responsibility for your choice is yours, we would like to encourage you to consider these selected positions and candidates in what look to be hotly contested races. We recommend: Yes on #5........... Nuclear Freeze Yes on #7.................El Salvador WHAT SORT OF PEOPLE READ CLINTON STREET QUARTERLY? Lord knows we’ve run enough expensive demographic studies, but to be perfectly honest, we can’t make heads or tails out of them One thing we do know is that four times a year we take our semidistinguished journal of humor, commentary, fiction, political analysis and eyeball snagging graphics off to the printer and within days there aren't any of them left in our humming distribution center, the stamps are all gone, and we begin getting rude phone calls in the night, some from as far away as Borneo and Missoula, Montana! So if you can’t afford to spend your valuable time standing around on street corners four times a year but you want to be up on what’s what and all that try subscribing to the CSO Four issues, five bucks Enclosed is my $5 00 for 4 issues of the CSO. you hyperbolic devil.
