Reevaluation taught me caution. I approached the problem with trepidation.

Certainly, by the loosest of our standards there were plenty of visible

targets, a plethora of blind fanaticism and guilty opportunism at which to

aim painful barbs.

But how did we get this way? What makes a Nixon? What part do the meek

play in creating the powerful? If a leader cannot admit mistakes, these

mistakes will be hidden. Who says our leaders must be perfect? Where do

they learn this?

Enter the fugue. In music, the fugue is usually based on a single theme that

is played many different ways. Sometimes there are free voices that do

fanciful dances around the interplay. There can be secondary themes and

contrasts in harmony, rhythm, and melody. From the moment when a single

voice introduces the primary theme, however, the whole is woven into a

single fabric.

What were my instruments in this ecological fugue? Images, conflicts,

things that turn upon themselves and become something quite different,

myth figures and strange creatures from the depths of our common

heritage, products of our technological evolution, our human desires, and

our human fears.
