The Rescue Chronicles
Submitted by Steven F. Hayward, Ph.D on 11.30.1999
The SUV parked next to me at Home Depot sported a license plate frame reading: "Where the Hell is Rescue?" This must be a neighbor of mine, for "Rescue" is my new home town. For weeks I have been joking to my Beltway friends that I was returning to rescue California from my redoubt at "Rescue, California," a burgh in the Gold Rush foothill country so small that even hummingbirds miss it if they blink. I’d be tempted to say this is a commensurate metaphor about the difficulty of turning California around in the Age of Clinton, but ever since the Edmund Morris debacle, rescue metaphors have been ruined for everyone.
