Inhaltsangabe

Originally published in the June 11, 1984, New Yorker, this lengthy essay is a sharp-edged inquiry into the generational institutions of our national life. George Trow tells the story of upstate New York's Black Rock Forest - a 3,800-acre site overlooking the Hudson River - through the lives of the men who were connected to it and through the larger histories of Harvard University, U.S. conservation policies, and physics and biology. His story is ultimately a symbolic tale that bears upon some of the most significant institutions, professions, and legacies in contemporary American life.
