SW: breaking news bit on ecoterrorist smear
[[Nora Goldstein]] is the current editor of the magazine, begun by her father [[Jerome Goldstein]]. Nora Goldstein writes, "In January 1978, ownership of BioCycle shifted from Rodale Press to The [[JG Press, Inc.]], and the publication’s name was expanded to Compost Science/ Land Utilization (CSLU). In his January-February 1978 editorial, 'Turning The Corner With Compost Science,' Jerry notes that the magazine was not only in a transition of ownership, but in a transition of focus. '... now it’s time to be an action publication as well - one that makes a great impact upon waste management decisions throughout the nation and the world.'
