	Johnny Carson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carson was born in Corning, Iowa and grew up in Norfolk, Nebraska, where he learned to perform magic tricks, debuting as "The Great Carsoni" at age 14.
		Carson was a major investor in the ultimately failed De Lorean Motor Company, and was cited in a 1982 drunk driving incident while driving a De Lorean DMC-12 sportscar in Beverly Hills.
		Carson's most famous post-retirement appearance came on Letterman's late-night CBS talk show, The Late Show with David Letterman, on May 13, 1994.

	NRDC: The Story of Silent Spring
		Although she rarely used the term, Carson held an ecological view of nature, describing in precise yet poetic language the complex web of life that linked mollusks to sea-birds to the fish swimming in the ocean's deepest and most inaccessible reaches.
		Thirteen years later, in 1958, Carson's interest in writing about the dangers of DDT was rekindled when she received a letter from a friend in Massachusetts bemoaning the large bird kills which had occured on Cape Cod as the result of DDT sprayings.
		By 1958 Carson was a best-selling author, and the fact that she could not obtain a magazine assignment to write about DDT is indicative of how heretical and controversial her views on the subject must have seemed.

	Rachel Carson biography
		DESCRIPTION OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS: After completing her education, Carson joined the U. Bureau of Fisheries as the writer of a radio show entitled "Romance Under the Waters," in which she was able to explore life under the seas and bring it to listeners.
		In 1936, after being the first woman to take and pass the civil service test, the Bureau of Fisheries hired her as a full-time junior biologist, and over the next 15 years, she rose in the ranks until she was the chief editor of all publications for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
		During the 1940s, Carson began to write books on her observations of life under the sea, a world as yet unknown to the majority of people.

		Carson graduated from Pennsylvania College for Women (now Chatham College) in 1929, studied at the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory, and received her MA in zoology from Johns Hopkins University in 1932.
		Embedded within all of Carson's writing was the view that human beings were but one part of nature distinguished primarily by their power to alter it, in some cases irreversibly.
		Carson was attacked by the chemical industry and some in government as an alarmist, but courageously spoke out to remind us that we are a vulnerable part of the natural world subject to the same damage as the rest of the ecosystem.

		Carson was evidently unusual among trappers, however, for his self-restraint and temperate lifestyle.
		Carson's notoriety grew as his name became associated with several key events in the United States' westward expansion.
		In 1864 most surrendered to Carson, who forced nearly 8,000 Navajo men, women and children to take what came to be called the "Long Walk" of 300 miles from Arizona to Fort Sumner, New Mexico, where they remained in disease-ridden confinement until 1868.

	Rachel Carson
		Carson brought two decisive strengths to this battle: a scrupulous respect for the truth and a remarkable degree of personal course.
		Today, because Carson's work led to the ban on DDT, some of the species that were her special concern- eagles and peregrine falcons, for example- are no longer at the edge of extinction.
		Rachel carson showed that the excessive use of pesticides was inconsistent with basic values; that at their worst, they create what she called "rivers of death," and at their best, they cause mild harm for relatively little long-term gain.

	Johnny Carson - The naughty genius of late night. By David Edelstein (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Carson also perfected the art of making a joke that bombs even funnier than a joke that works—a mixed legacy, insofar as many modern TV hosts (among them Letterman) are more comfortable than they should be going out with second-rate material.
		Carson's background in magic (and its attendant skepticism) might be one of the keys to his greatness as a comedian and talk-show host.
		The later Carson, the Carson of 1981 until his retirement in 1992*, was a subtly different presence.

		Carson is a member of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE http://www.nspe.org), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME http://www.asme.org), and the American Nucear Society (ANS http://www.ans.org).
		Carson believes his profession’s lack of cohesiveness to its code of ethics contributed to the DOE sick worker disaster.
		While Carson does not take this personally (they have rarely, if ever, done so in other cases), he does think this lack of cohesiveness is an important (even if unstated) contributing factor to the DOE sick worker disaster and other engineering-related mishaps and disasters.

		Following World War II, Carson concentrated on a series of twelve booklets for which she coined the title "Conservation in Action." She wrote at least four herself, and into all of them incorporated a respect for nature, a philosophy of conservation, and her belief that people should learn to coexist peacefully with nature.
		Carson’s close friend and associate Bob Hines, a wildlife artist, described her as "a very able executive with almost a man’s administrative qualities." Although her management style was new to the department, she immediately commanded respect, if not outright admiration.
		Carson began her investigation anew by contacting other biologists, chemists, and geneticists, and receiving in return mountains of data and documentation.

	Reason
		Carson was moved to write Silent Spring by her increasing concern about the effects of pesticides on wildlife.
		To bolster her case for the dangers of DDT, Carson improperly cited cases of acute exposures to the chemical as proof of its cancer-causing ability.
		Carson was also an effective popularizer of the idea that children were especially vulnerable to the carcinogenic effects of synthetic chemicals.

		Carson took a job with the Bureau of Fisheries (later the Fish and Wildlife Services) in Washington instead of the career in research that she had wanted, achieving the title of chief of publications.

	Growing Pains of a young city (Carson, California) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In those intervening years, the area that is now Carson remained an unincorporated portion of Los Angeles County, and as a result, the young City of Carson is still struggling to overcome the penalties that came with delaying its incorporation.
		Since Carson was an unincorporated area for so long, with little political representation, it often ended up as the dumping ground (both literally and figuratively) of its neighbors.
		By the time Carson finally incorporated as a city in 1968, its landscape was pockmarked with the dozens of refuse dumps, landfills, and auto dismantling plants which none of its neighbors would have in their own cities.

		Carsons spreads in this issue are more wallpaper installations than article, a stylized homage to his undying passion for wave riding.
		Uniting the content is Carson's distinctively fragmented and layered compositional approach: One example, a photograph of a sun-bleached shack and a notice board that reads "Carson Design inc," is adorned with graphic sunbursts, leaving the reader to wonder how much of the image is real and how much constructed.
		I first saw David Carson's work, as did a number of others, in the short-lived magazine called Beach Culture, and I immediately wondered what the hell was going on.
