Robert Cushman Murphy, orinthologist

Roland C. Clement

Mr. Clement was Vice-President of the National Audubon Society, and wrote two editorials in Audubon magazine. He reflects a wide range of bird enthusiasts and persons concerned with human relationship with nature. [Perhaps also investigate the case of ornithologist Robert Cushman Murphy and his 1957 suit against the USDA.]

Be sure to review Chaps. 1-2,5,7,8,10,15 of Silent Spring. You should be able to comment on harm to non-target species and the balance and control of nature.
