OTHER EDITORS SAY
POGONOTOC ID E AT CITY HALL?
dean-shaven members of Boe
ton’s Planning Board apparently
find the nonconformity of a beard
ed worker in their office too nuch
to stand. So they have asked David
M. Rose, a fledgling dty planner,
to shave or be fired.
Any pogonoiofldst (connoisseur of
beards) will recognize Ibis as a
case of attempted pogonotocide.
We trust that even the pogonoto
mied (clean-shaven) majority of
Americans will grant that it is a
ridiculous restriction of individual
freedom.
Does Mr. Ross plan with bis chin?
Is bis drafting technique Impaired
by whiskers?
The board’s ultimatum reported
ly was spurred on by a belief that
the Ross chin growth tended to
make the city planning department
look like a beatnik hangout
A little research would have
shown that beatniks hold no patent
rights to the beard. Longfellow was
ho cool cat. Despite their suspicious
who gnp whiskers were not early
Castro men. v/
®y the board's logic Prime Min
ister Mi»niwiji«n would be forced
to give Op his Edwardian tastes
because of Britain’s delinquent
“teddy bays.” Americans would
have to abandon use df -the word
“democracy” because the Com
munists also use (and misuse) it
Actually the planning board
members had better third: twice
about their' own beardless condi
tion. Some of the greatest piHars
of their profession planned cities
from behind whiskers.
Frederick Law Olmsted, the fa
mous planner of Boston’s parks and
parkways system (and New York’s
Central Park), had a dilly of an
upswept beard. Chicago’s paceset
ting city planner, Daniel Burnham,
designed the Loop from a vantage
point two inches above a luxuriant
walrus mustache. Brazil's magni
ficent new capital city is being
planned by Lutio QpSta, a thought
ful must ache-stroker.
We don’t say it’s astute to be

THE DELECTABLE MOUNTAINS
Boston Little, Brown 1999
Those eight narratives, all pub
lished previously in the W
deal with 'some rather
people • who have
realized their life goalsUan oc
cupation or a way of life which is
at onice unique and uniquely satis
fying. ,
. There is, far instance, a family
of Czechoslovakian glaasblowers; a
Long Island ehore whaleman; a
Connecticut farmer who Breeds and
occasionally sells pure Devon oxen;
the last remnants of a tiny Shaker
community in upper New York
State; and a Long bland potato
grower, one of the few people in
the book who has actually made
Us vocation pay.
. iWith so many of the current
books dealing, with tensions of one
kind or another—personal, politi
cal, international—it is refreshing
to find' one whose keynote is con
tentment. All of the characters in
these pieces are unusual. Some of
them are eccentrics in the grand
tradition, and most of them are
blessed with the knowledge that,
in a confused and: hurried world,
they are doing exactly what they
want to do.
Nearly all of them might echo,
in their individual way, the state
ment of the man who is building a
Hitchcock chair—“There’s some
hirsute. But we trust by now the
planning chiefs at City Hall have
realized it is a mistake to be too
bald about their objections.
