Just a quick note to say how much I loved the June 27
issue with the three essays on the West. Each of them was fresh,
engaging, and disturbing. (Perhaps Jesse Wolf Hardin’s was
more triumphant than disturbing.) I was moved. Our West as we have
thought of it is really changing. Thanks to all three writers for
their glimpse of things in flux, given with much compassion.
