...National Audubon Society has leased out gas and oil rights on its hitherto pristine Paul J. Rainey Wildlife Sanctuary in Louisiana. Washington, D.C., Attorney H. David Rosenbloom, an expert on the social aspects of investments, drew the obvious moral: "If your investments are operating to the detriment of the things for which you stand, there's a question as to how much good you're doing...
With a blackbird population of 350 million, the U.S. can afford some meruline slaughter; even the Audubon Society agrees that the pests must be controlled. Besides, notes Mayor Atkins, furious at the New Yorkers who have thwarted the extermination plan, starlings spread through the U.S. from New York City.* To vent his frustration, he wryly asked Hopkinsville attorneys to draft a request for an injunction staying New York City from killing its rats...
...February 21, 1965, Malcolm X, ex-Muslim and revolutionary black leader, was felled by assassins' bullets as he began a speech at the Audubon Ballroom in New York.

In commemorating that day ten years ago when Malcolm's life...

In making a decision, the reader is likely to pay homage to Audubon...

Housed in a rambling Georgian mansion on East 94th Street-it was once the Audubon Society's headquarters, and pigeons still roost in its unrenovated attics-it has an ample program: exhibitions, archive, study center, seminars, master classes, lectures. It is a culmination of years of effort by Capa to get museum exposure for such doyens of the document as Lewis Hine and Andre Kertesz, together with Capa's contemporaries and friends, some prematurely dead: David Seymour Dan Weiner, Werner Bischof, and Capa...
