Interview

摘要

Mark Cioc and Char Miller: In an interview with Bruce Stave, published in The Journal of Urban HiAtory in 1983, you describe an urban upbringing, in a lower middle-class Jewish family milieu, in Jersey City, New Jersey, during the 1930s and 1940s. But you also mention Boy Scout hikes in the Orange Mountains around South Orange, and how you were "extremely taken with the peacefulness of that pastoral and wealthy suburban environment." Was there any dawning awareness of the beauty and fragility of the natural world during your childhood in the Garden State?
