When future historians write of this era, I believe they will note that ours was the generation that finally faced up to the accumulated problems of our American life. . . . Rachel Carson once wrote: “In biological history, no organism has survived long if its environment became in some way unfit for it. But no organism before man has deliberately polluted its own environment.” . . . [T]his morning I join you in saying that together we intend to rewrite that chapter of history.141

Liberals in the 1960s powered this transformation of Americans’ mind-set about their physical environment. If it was a revolution—and many on both sides concluded that it was—it was a revolution from the top down, with the strongest charge of reform energy coming from the highest levels of government.
