Here, noted environmental writer Graham evaluates what progress has been made in enacting some of the changes proposed by Carson, as well as gives us a little more about her back story & how she reacted to the backlash & controversy her book aroused. Most importantly, he calls on the "embattled citizen' of ordinary means to expose & protest our government's continued use of pesticides & unsafe chemicals.
