Rebecca Solnit mentions Orion in Middle East Online
December 17, 2007, by Scott Walker
About half-way through the article:
An exhilarating 2006 article in Orion magazine by Ted Nace describes how a bunch of North Dakota farmers killed off Monsanto’s plans to promote the growing of genetically altered wheat worldwide. The essay concludes:
“On May 10, 2004, Monsanto bowed to the prevailing political sentiment. It issued a curt press release announcing the withdrawal of all its pending regulatory applications for (its genetically altered) Roundup Ready wheat and the shifting of research priorities to other crops.”
The article was later picked up by The Asia Times (online).
