In excerpts from a series of interviews, seven former Forest
Service chiefs look back at the issues they faced throughout their
50 collective years of service and provide a glimpse into the inner
workings of America's oldest and largest federal land-management
agency. At times caught unaware by the forces of change, at times
prescient, by turns humble and defiant, yet always candid, the
chiefs endured a sea-change of increasing strife marked by
vocabulary that still clangs with contention -- wilderness,
clear-cutting, ecosystem management, environmentalism, timber
salvage. Reflecting on their efforts during the last half of the
20th century to carry out the agency's mission in an era of
escalating turbulence, the chiefs offer behind-the-scenes analyses
of both the controversies and the agency's responses -- factors
destined to influence federal land-management for the years to
come.
