In this issue of Earth First! the editors vent their frustrations in a special publication entitled Mirth First!
The Earth First! Journal has been too dry and depressing lately. EF!ers have been grumbling that the articles are too long. Anarchists have been heard to apply toward the journal such opprobrious adjectives as insipid, prolix, and turgid. Thus we present in this issue the 1st edition of Mirth First! Also we make this particular column short.
— John Davis
Instead of the usual editorial “A View of the Vortex,” readers can enjoy “A View of the Goretex.” Also Greg King reports on Chile’s rainforests, Ed Johnson shares his reflections on the Upper Bladen Branch Watershed in Belize, and Gary D. Suttle discusses the impact of television on the environment.
