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...

Check out the excellent article on Rachel Carson's legacy in
today's NT Times on-line at the web-site noted below. (It will NOT
say what you might expect from the Times!)
If you go article, it is also worth checking out the link "go to
tierney lab" which appears below the skeleton emerging from the egg-
shell. I especially enjoyed the "founding principles" of the
Tierney lab noted on the right-hand side of the page that appears
when you click "go to tierney lab."
