..."This year, among the Kochs’ aims is to spend a projected four hundred million dollars in contributions from themselves and a small group of allied conservative donors they have assembled, to insure Republican victories in the 2018 midterm elections. Ordinarily, political reporters for Time magazine would chronicle this blatant attempt by the Kochs and their allies to buy political influence in the coming election cycle. Will they feel as free to do so now?"...

On the 50th anniversary of the publication of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring"

There is much to tell about and report on during this anniversary year. There are those who look back at Rachel Carson's tremendous contributions to public -- and scientific -- awareness of what was basically happening all across the post-World War II US-American landscape. And those who connect her work to the dramatic ecological problems of our time.

With her combination of insight, science, feeling for and as a part of nature, plus her ability to write, Rachel Carson communicated sometimes difficult and new concepts to a world public. And to often vicious opposition from some in the corporate and political establishment.

As your editor read about and from Rachel Carson, scanned the internet and thought about the woman and her contributions, it because obvious that a special page -- if not section -- of our website should be devoted to the author, her work, her impact and what they mean for us today.

Here is a small start, two pages which we hope will grow:
Remembering Rachel Carson, and Rachel Carson: resources.
