“Early one seasonably cold morning, the first day of November, in the year of our lord 1952...the Cuyahoga River caught fire. The river burned. It wasn't so much the river, but a huge oil slick *on* the river, though distinguishing one from the other was more a job for a chemist than a lay observer.” — Mark Winegardner
