</b>
<b><i>Silent Spring</i>&nbsp;was published in 1962</b> amid an avalanche of publicity, both positive and negative. CBS aired an hour-long special about the book, although two corporate sponsors withdrew their publicity. Carson became a national celebrity, introducing an entire country to the idea that human beings would benefit by living&nbsp;<i>with</i>&nbsp;and appreciating our natural surroundings, rather than simply viewing them as resources to be looted for profit. Such radical ideas, though, did not go unchallenged. Carson was the target of a vicious slander campaign funded lavishly by the chemical industry.<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">&nbsp;<i>Time&nbsp;</i>magazine, which in 1962 derided the book as being full of “oversimplifications and downright errors,”</span> recently described the campaign against her:</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></p><p /><blockquote><i>Silent Spring</i>…gored corporate oxen all over the country<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">. Even before publication, Carson was violently assailed by threats of lawsuits and derision, including suggestions that this meticulous scientist was a “hysterical woman” unqualified to write such a book. A huge counterattack was organized and led by Monsanto, Velsicol, American Cyanamid—indeed, the whole chemical industry—duly supported by the Agriculture Department as well as the more cautious in the media.<sup>5</sup></span><p /></blockquote><font><font>Many of the attacks were unabashedly sexist in tone. The&nbsp;<i>New Yorker&nbsp;</i>published one such letter:</font></font><p><font><font /></font></p><blockquote><font><font>Miss Rachel Carson’s reference to the selfishness of insecticide manufacturers <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">probably reflects her communist sympathies…</span>. As for insects, isn’t it just like a woman to be scared to death of a few little bugs! As long as we have the H-bomb everything will be O.K. P.S. She’s probably a peace nut too.<sup>6</sup></font></font><p><font><font /></font></p></blockquote><font><font><font><font><font>Carson was hounded by the press and subject to personal attacks on her competence as a scientist, her marital status (she never married), and her looks. She used the royalties from her bestselling books to buy an isolated cottage on the Maine seashore, where she continued to fight her cancer and sketched out what she hoped would be her next book. She passed away two years after&nbsp;<i>Silent Spring</i>’s publication (from a type of cancer that her own research helped to link to pesticide exposure).<sup>7</sup><font><font /></font></font></font></font></font></font><p><font><font><font><font><font><font><font><font><font><font><font><font><font>Although she was not there to defend her ideas, they had already sparked the birth of the environmental movement. The public’s trust in the chemical industry had been broken, and environmental stories were big news, particularly as the ensuing years saw the passage of the Clean Air Act in 1963, as well as an epidemic of birth defects caused by the popular morning sickness drug thalidomide. The Vietnam War, in particular, carried the movement forward, as society radicalized:...</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></p><p style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">
