« In the 1970s, geography professor C. Etzel Pearcy proposed redrawing the borders of the US states, reducing them from 50 to 38. Each new state’s name was chosen to represent a physical of cultural aspect of each new territory … Needless to say, the idea never left the drawing board »
[en fait en 1973, George Etzel Pearcy enseignait à la California State University. Il est décédé en 1980, à 75 ans]
