* LIFE WAS NOT ALWAYS A TRAGEDY

     LIFE WAS NOT ALWAYS A TRAGEDY, published by Earth Company, 237 East 5th Street New York, New York 10003. Dylan indirect connection: this book is shown on the cover of the LP BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME, near Sally Grossman.
     The Earth Company saw its mission as protecting earth from collisions with comets and planets. Their pamphlet interprets Immanuel Velikovsky’s notion that life on earth was so deeply affected by near-collisions of Venus with Jupiter and Mars that the impressions and interpretations of observers found their way into myths and semi-historical documents of peoples of many cultures. The pamphlet also claims that the Ark of the Covenant is a representation of a comet, which is what the white shape in the center of the pamphlet cover is intended to represent.
