“Among the earliest test subjects [of the effects of radiation exposure] was Ebb Cade, a Black worker at the Army base [who was] brought back to the base hospital after a car crash. He was […] injected with ‘large doses’ of radioactive plutonium.”

A woman in the late 1950s/early 60s publishing something like “Silent Spring” is unfathomably courageous. Sexist reviews could never dim your sparkle, Carson. The world wasn’t ready for you.

Long list of all the operations researching the use of insects as “delivery systems” for toxins… which were, of course, performed on and around the American public. The government wouldn’t do that… oh, yes, they would!!!!!

“We can only hand it over into the world that exists about us, and this is the world of Belsen and Hiroshima… The best we can do is to see that a large public understands the trend [..] and to confine our personal efforts to those fields… most remote from war and exploitation.”
