First sentence: In 1970, a young writer and fledgling farmer put together a newsletter to keep in touch with other people who had interests similar to his own: "organic" gardening, the troubles in the national economy, raising livestock on a small scale, solar power, living "close to the earth," living as economically as possible, avoiding the 9-to-5 grind, communal living, and spiritual development.
