An Ancient Battle

Aesop was my first author. I was 6 when I received a beautifully illustrated anthology — I read it forward and back. The mainly cautionary and instructive anecdotes anthropomorphized animals and elements and struck a chord with my world view.

The piece said the EPA, “the federal watchdog tasked with safeguarding the environment and human health, ... by Karl Grossman
