Plate 10: 'In early July 1994 I was given a contract for the coming academic year, my classes and hours of work assigned while at the same time the ban against my presence on campus had not been rescinded. The only way out of this impasse, I began to think, would be for me to hire a hot-air balloon from which, hovering over the ground, I could address my assembled students whose feet, I presumed, would be allowed to touch terra firma.'Artistic Interpretation by Patrick John Clare, Damascus, Ontario.
