“A smashing indictment

consequences, for both nature
and man; of the chemical
mass-warfare that is being
waged today indiscriminately
against insects, weeds and

“The thing to remember ...

alarmist but a trained,
meticulously scrupulous
scientist , who shuns
public ity and controversy
but whose findings were
too catastrophic to keep to
herself.”
