...born TV star Frank Perdue is not. He is bald, has an ample nose and speaks with a high-pitched, nasal twang. In the Northeast, where Perdue in white lab coat regularly appears in commercials, more than one viewer has noted his resemblance to the chickens he sells. Yet, thanks to some brilliant Madison Avenue copywriting ("It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken," "My chickens eat better than you do") and believably homespun performances by the unlikely actor, Perdue Inc. has become the fastest-growing U.S. chicken producer...

At about the same time, scientists began to report that the chemical was causing some species of birds to lay eggs with abnormally thin shells that broke during brooding; as a result, the numbers of ospreys, peregrine falcons, bald eagles and brown pelicans were declining. These revelations were followed by the publication in 1962 of Rachel Carson's book, Silent Spring, which began to crystallize anti-insecticide sentiment. But the coup de gráce was administered by later studies showing that DDT could cause cancer in laboratory animals. Deciding...
