AUDUBON WILDLIFE FILMS / 1972 
Jan. 23 — TWENTIETH CENTURY WILDERNESS — Thomas A. Sterling 
Condensed into a colorful, hour-long film are views of the superb 
wildernesses and wildlife of America—sandhill cranes and limp- 
kins in the Everglades; black-footed ferrets and bison in the West; 
grizzlies in Alaska; mountain lions and golden eagles in the can- 
yons of Yellowstone. 
Feb. 27 — A NATURALIST AFIELD — Karl H. Maslowski 
The synchronized sights and sounds of nature through the seasons 
are the theme of Mr. Maslowski’s film symphony. He brings us 
time lapse sequences of buckeye buds unfolding and cricket 
wasps fulfilling their life cycle. You will learn a deeper regard 
for the creatures that share our world. 
March 26 — WEST SIDE STORY: iMexico to Alaska — Walter H. Berlet 
Starting with spring at the Tropic of Cancer, this American 
Odyssey ranges from south to north. The camera frames macaws 
and caracaras, redwood forests, California sea lions, Glacier Bay, 
McKinley National Park, Kodiak bears and Arctic foxes. The 
lecturer's appeal for wildlife protection develops great impact 
as the story ends. Don’t miss it!

frauds. 
The FDA has an annual budget of about $73 million dollars, a third 
of which is used to protect the nation’s food supply. That it fails too often 
is pointed out by Turner as he cites an instance where over 70 persons 
sought to oppose a regulation allowing caffeine in soft drinks. The FDA 
officials opposed a public hearing “because the requests were not couched 
in proper legal form.” Turner suggests that “the FDA relies on industry 
science, believes in industry honesty, and does not consult consumers in 
making its decisions,” 
Conservationists concerned about the decline of the Bald Eagle and 
the Osprey because of ingestion of too much DDT and mercury will read 
this book with great interest. It is one of a series of studies made by the 
Center for the Study of Responsive Law, which has headquarters at 1908 
Q Street, Washington.
