- Description of Pictures: The Silent Spring of Rachel Carson: Film and Discussion:
In commemoration of the 100th birthday of influential environmentalist and author Rachel Carson, we present a screening of the 1963 CBS Reports television program The Silent Spring of Rachel Carson (60 minutes). Hosted by Eric Sevareid and televised soon after the publication of Carson's controversial book "Silent Spring", which examined the dangers of pesticides to the environment and human health, the program features the rare appearance of Carson on film at her home in Silver Spring, Maryland, and her cottage in Maine. CBS aired the show despite receiving more than 1,000 letters of protest and experiencing the withdrawal of three major sponsors.
Joining us tonight to introduce the screening is special guest Roger Christie, Rachel Carson's adopted son. Following the screening, Christie will be joined by Diana Post, executive director of the Rachel Carson Council, to discuss the film and take audience questions. This program is presented in conjunction with a special document display related to Rachel Carson's Federal service, March 22-April 22 in the East Rotunda Gallery.
Welcoming remarks were provided by Tom Nastick, Producer, Public Programs, Center for the National Archives Experience.

See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
- Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
