World Views

Our publication is now going into its fourteenth year. Our aim is, as always, to recognize people who are making a difference in the world. Through the years we have covered the full range of humanity regardless of color, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, age, religion, class, economics or politics.

In our cover story this month, Barbara Lloyd McMichael writes about H. Morgan Hicks, the owner of a yarn shop in Des Moines, Washington. In Toward a New Social Contract for Our Endangered Species, Dr. Peter A. Corning argues that we are on a road to collective self-destruction unless we make a radical course change. Annie Searle takes a look at all of the fires that are burning in her article The Fire This Time. My essay, It’s Too Bad, Tommy Wooten, is about a Yonkers teen who died long ago, tragically and foolishly. Profound, heroic, or tragic, there is more than one way to make your mark in life. – Patricia Vaccarino
