...have begun to leave, so the questions have become those of the tactics of withdrawal. Thus October 15 is about demanding the tactic of immediate withdrawal. And amidst all this unanimity it is hard to remember that a year and a half ago Dr. Spock was being tried in a federal court essentially for being against...
...polluter as "a blind, witless, lowbrow, anthropocentric clod." With his Scottish burr, fierce beard and piercing eyes, McHarg is a cross between Jeremiah and a kind of male Rachel Carson. He is not only a symbol of rising anger at environmental abuses, but a successful practitioner of the hard art of stopping those abuses. In his new book, Design with Nature, which Lewis Mumford calls "a vision of organic exuberance and human delight," McHarg clearly shows that the main obstacle to saving the U.S. landscape is ignorance...
Some of the criticism, of course, comes from Establishment friends of Profumo, who has been working hard at a social-welfare settlement in London's East End since resigning from public life.

The book ends in the fire and blood of Detroit's 1967 summer riot. On the surface, the book is hard, cold and terrifying. Its core, however, is molten with sympathy for the struggles of the major characters. The result is Urban Gothic, a type of naturalism saved from the simple cataloguing of disasters by the author's ability to transform the mysteries of experience into vital characterizations...
