[FRIAM] The Starship and the Canoe

[Merle Lefkoff]

One of my favorite books, Jochen.  It was written by Kenneth Brower, David
Brower's son. For those of you in a different generation, David was one of
the founders of the environmental movement in the 70's and founded many
organizations, including Friends of the Earth.  However, he made one fatal
mistake in his career.  He had the authority to help make the decision to
trade Glen Canyon for Dinosaur National Park (never having visited Glen
Canyon).  I knew David well, and he never got over what he had done.
