...McHarg is a 48-year-old landscape architect who delights conservationists with eloquent speeches that blast man the 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...
...clutches of the law. Now pending before the Chicago Court of Appeals is the first serious challenge to the constitutionality of HUAC. The case stems out of Chicago hearings in 1965 conducted by the Committee in which several prominent citizens claim they were slandered.

This triangular picture shows the family of Salmon, one of the ancestors of Jesus. Here, the child leans upon his mother's knee and watches her cutting cloth with a big pair of shears. The pull of the fabric points your eye to something which is happening near by. Glancing up and to the right, you meet with the image in which God the Creator divides Light from Darkness. You are witnessing the same thing...
...protest against social inequity is a valid, idealistic continuation of the "prophetic rebellion" that began in 7th century Israel. He may be right, but not many parents are finding it easy to accept the idea that their son the revolutionary is in the ideological line of Hosea, Isaiah and Jeremiah...
