Willie Levenson sat up in his tube and paddled with cupped hands to counteract a swell in the Willamette River, its waters momentarily disrupted by the wake of a passing boat. As little waves lapped against the shore, the surface became calm once again. He leaned back into a lounging position and sploshed his feet in the river.
Levenson may look like a strong contender for the title of laziest activist in America. But don’t mistake him for a do-nothing river rat.
