Milford, Pike County, PA: Pike County Chamber of Commerce, c1964. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. 70, [2] pages. Frontispiece. Illustrations. Decorative cover scuffed. Scarce JFK item. On September 24, 1963, President John F. Kennedy honored the pioneering work of Gifford R. Pinchot and dedicated the Pinchot Institute for Conservation Studies "for greater knowledge of the land and its uses." Includes various topics and contributions by Samuel Ordway, George Brewer, Dennis Govern, Dan Dwyer, Joseph Cusack, Howard MacDonald, Karen Mateyak, William Scranton, Edward Cliff, Gifford Pinchot, Matthew Brennan, Conservation Foundation, and the Delaware Valley Joint High School. Pike County was named for General Zebulon Pike. It was organized on March 26, 1814, from part of Wayne County, Pennsylvania. Some English settlement in the area had started during the colonial years. Yale ran summer field studies for its Master's program in forestry there from 1904 to 1926. The Pinchot Institute for Conservation fulfills a unique role within the conservation community, one for which it was conceived by the Pinchot family, and established in partnership with the USDA Forest Service at what is now Grey Towers National Historic Site. Grey Towers was the home of Gifford Pinchot, founder and first Chief of the US Forest Service. Located in Milford, PA, Grey Towers was completed in 1886 by Gifford's father, James Pinchot, a successful businessman and philanthropist. At Grey Towers, James, disturbed by destructive logging practices then prevalent in the country, encouraged his eldest son, Gifford Pinchot, to pursue a career in the nascent field of forestry. More

New York: St. Martin's Press, 1980. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. 22 cm, 218 pages, illustrations, black mark on bottom edge, DJ somewhat worn and soiled, DJ flap creased. Max Lerner (1902–1992) was a Russian-born American journalist and educator known for his controversial syndicated column. Maxwell Alan Lerner was born on December 20, 1902 in Minsk. His Russian Jewish family emigrated to the U.S. in 1907. Lerner earned a B.A. from Yale University in 1923. He studied law there, but transferred to Washington University in St. Louis for an M.A. in 1925. He earned a doctorate from the Brookings Institution in 1927. Once out of school, Lerner began work as an editor for the Encyclopaedia of the Social Sciences (1927–32), The Nation (1936–38), and PM (1943–48). After PM sold, he continued as a contributor to its short-lived successor, the New York Star (ended 1949). His column for the New York Post debuted in 1949. It earned him a place on the master list of Nixon political opponents. During most of his career he was considered a liberal. In his later years, however, he was seen as something of a conservative since he expressed support for Margaret Thatcher and the Reagan administration. He taught at Sarah Lawrence College, Harvard University, Williams College, and Brandeis University. He is referenced in the lyrics to the Phil Ochs song, "Love Me, I'm a Liberal": "You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden" More
