It seems to me, then, that there can be no separate literature of science. –Rachel CarsonI have a confession to make. I’m not a historian. I’m a writer who was trained as a scientist. Here’s proof.

Sixty years ago, the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream turned the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom into a near-religious revival. King's speech remains so emotionally powerful that we remember little else about that historic march and rally.
