Dave et al, the article appears to be just a free preview now with an
upgrade to purchase the whole article. We apologize but apparently
apple-crop went on a bit of a hiatus in conjunction with myself, so
the posts have not been getting delivered timely.
FWIW, my impression of Rachel Carson was that she was in impassioned
scientist that appreciated good science but exposed -- what was then
-- the indiscriminate use of pesticides that had an extreme impact on
non-target wildlife. Carson's work and writing kindled the formation
of EPA, whether you consider that good or bad...
