Theo Colborn, Our Stolen Future, 1997 Letter to the President, October 2012 124
Cover photo: Columbia River Gorge from Portland inland between Oregon and Washington, where my grandfather worked for a while after 1913 helping to build the Columbia River Highway along the Oregon side, one of the first “scenic road” constructions in the United States. Thirty or so years later I took a bus from Portland to Hood River and hitchhiked back to Spokane and Idaho to go back east. It was still beautiful—Editor
