Trade paperback. [8], 204, [4] p. Illustrations. From an on-line posting: "A onetime employee of global visionary Buckminster Fuller, Darling's amusing, environmentally conscious actions delighted the press, which gave him a good ride nationally in the 1970s. The capper came in '78, when he put on a colorful primary campaign to unseat California Gov. Jerry Brown, known for his own eccentricities and offbeat ideas. Among other things, Darling promised, if elected, to invest in psychic-powered cars, do away with parking tickets--because of the energy shortage, he reasoned, "we should encourage people to park rather than drive"--freeze highway construction and use the money to pay Californians to be themselves (Jerry Brown would still run the state), and give everybody Wednesdays off. He got about 62, 000 votes, a remarkable achievement, even in a nut-brained state like ours." Good. Signed by author. Cover has some wear and soiling. Nice inscription on fep.
