Woodland Management and Agroforestry Potential Among Dairy Farmers in Lewis County, New York

“…In New York, large areas just north of the Pennsylvania border, on Tug Hill and the land surrounding, and in the Adirondack Park reverted to forest cover. By 1982 New York had 62% forest cover as opposed to just over 10% in 1918 (Considine and Frieswyk 1982).

The American Soul Rush

“…Some years ago, Michael described himself as the Toots Shor of the metaphysical circuit (Downing 2001:248). Toots was a famed Manhattan saloonkeeper from the 1940s through the 1960s, who welcomed sports stars, politicians, and well-known gangsters to his establishment (Considine 1969). Michael saw himself as Shor's counterpart in the spiritual marketplace because of the genial ways that he connected networks of religious leaders, celebrities, psychologists, wealthy seekers, and intellectuals at Esalen and beyond.…”

“…When he laughingly spoke about Shor, Michael unintentionally disclosed his assumptions about the lasting fame of almost forgotten Americans. Shor's chophouse closed in the early 1960s, and few people born after World War II have any idea who Toots Shor was or that his friends included notables from Chief Justice Earl Warren to Mickey Mantle (Considine 1969). Michael remains a mid-twentieth-century man.…”
