�Across the Librarian’s Desk
There was a strange stillness. The
birds, for example where had they
gone? Many people spoke of them,
puzzled and disturbed. The feeding
stations in the backyards were
deserted. The few birds seen any
where were moribund; they trem
bled violently and could not fly. It
was a spring without voices. On the mornings that had
once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins, catbirds,
doves, jays, wrens, and scores of other bird voices
there was now no sound; only silence lay over the fields
and woods and marsh. So began opening passages in
Rachel Carson’s 1962 classic, cautionary, tale Silent
Spring. The message of that book was immediate and
lasting: what man does to alter his environment can
sow the seeds of a terrible harvest. That book detailed
the inexorability, precision, and terrible lasting price of
unintended consequences.
Those lines were recalled to me late this summer when
my neighbors and I realized that the chorus of birds our
neighborhood had always enjoyed was silent. Gone were
the sparrows, the crows, the blue jays and robins, gone
were almost all the birds except ones passing through.
No longer was I awakened to the raucous caws of a
family of crows that frequented my backyard, no more
brazen blue jays. In fact no birds at all. The cause is, of
course, the West Nile Virus. Illinois leads the nation in
human cases of the illness and in the number of deaths
attributed to it. For reasons seemingly unknown to sci
ence, Illinois is the epicenter of this new and baffling
illness and the first to fall are our friends the birds. As
Rachel Carson had so accurately predicted, the birds
acted as the barometer of the health of the environ
ment.
Well-meaning voices have been raised to resurrect the
use of DDT—one of the most dangerous and persistent
poisons ever devised by man—as a possible cure.
One can only ponder if the old vaudeville punch line
wouldn’t literally be true: the proposed cure being
worse than the disease. I have watched through late
summer and now into fall for a return of the birds to my
yard. A few have come, but are quickly gone, and no
crow caws for my arising. Over the years hundreds and
hundreds of sparrows have called my backyard home
and my birdfeeder their Sunset Foods. I have housed,
fed, and nurtured a sprawling family of sparrows in my
yard for twenty-five years. This spring there were brood
after brood of new hatchlings in that birdhouse—the
insistent peeping announcing a new brood and the exit
of the fledglings.
Recently, I started to clean out my bird houses as I do
every fall—so that next year’s birds will have a clean
start on their child rearing. The wren house was empty,
the second general purpose house always cherished by
starlings was too. But the home place for my sparrows
brought upset. Amidst all the string, and feathers, and
sticks, and fluff there were the little abandoned
nests—forlorn in their vacancy. The final nest brought
sorrow. In it were three tiny shriveled, mummified,
sparrow nestlings and three unhatched eggs. The birds I
carefully buried in my flower garden along with two
cracked eggs. The third egg, perfect, speckled in mot
tled gray, white and brown. I put it in a finch’s nest I
had brought home from a backpacking trip of forty
years ago. I don’t know why.
This seems like a fall to reflect on unintended conse
quences and the price to be paid for our folly, hubris, or
ignorance. Those little dead birds broke my heart. I had
not had the good sense to realize that West Nile could
strike so quickly as to kill the parents in mid-flight. The
victims of our stupidity are always the tiny, the power
less, the innocent. The solutions I will leave to better
minds. But as Rachel Carson warned—it is always a dis
aster to rush headlong to conclusions, to push for solu
tions that may destroy more than they save, or to trust
loud voices more than good sense. Too many lessons, it
seems, get forgotten.

Librarian in the Lobby:
Now in 10th Year!
On the second Saturday of each month,
(September 8, October 13 and
November 10) from 9 a.m. to noon in
the library lobby, library visitors can
talk informally with Administrative
Librarian Jack Hicks along with one of
the members of the library board of
trustees. As a result of these years of
active listening, many changes in tech
nology, in services, in policies and in
the building itself have been made in
response to patron suggestions. This
“longest running focus group in town”
has also improved accountability and
visibility for library administrators who
are more in touch with day to day
library issues.

I never thought I would live to see Pearl Harbor
become a commodity. The Pearl Harbor attack was
a national tragedy whose effect we feel sixty years
after it happened. Now we have a film of the sneak
attack which not only gets history very wrong but
sanitizes the whole event into politically correct
entertainment. For many reasons, this film is a dis
service to both history and the men and women
who died on December 7th, 1941. For the U.S.,
Pearl Harbor was perhaps the formative event of the 20th Century. It has
dominated U.S. military and foreign policy for sixty years. I am not criti
cizing the current film, in fact its use of computer animation is nothing
short of fantastic, but I am criticizing Hollywood’s misuse of history.
Why worry about a film's inaccurate portrayal of an historic event?
Recent studies indicate that less than 50% of the American public reads
anything at all—no magazines, no newspapers, no books, no recipes,
nothing. That is a disgraceful problem. If half the people get all their
information and form decisions based on what they hear on radio, see on
tv, and watch at the movies, and all history is presented via the media in
the form of special effects entertainment, we as a nation are trading on
the dangerous ground of delusion. To think that people watch Oliver
Stone's warped versions of history and do not know that these films are
gross distortions is a sobering, upsetting, notion. The old adage is true: a
person who doesn't read is no better off than the person who can't read.
Not long ago a young man writing an honors paper about Pearl Harbor
asked me if I could help him with his research. His thesis was simple: the
Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor in order to get control of the atomic
bomb. When I showed him that the atomic bomb did not exist at the time
of Pearl Harbor, that in fact the bomb existed only as a response to that
attack, the young man recoiled at the idea. Why then did the Japanese
mount the attack? When I showed him that the attack was aimed at
destroying the American Navy, he became incredulous and quite hostile.
Why on earth would the Japanese do that? Why indeed? The recent
film doesn’t give anyone a clue, it provides no historical context, draws
bizarre conclusions, presents a depersonalized catastrophe as history. If
the film had just stuck to drama it would be fine, but as presented it dis
graces an event that is sacred in American history.
I guess there is another deep down, nagging, issue for me. So many
films like Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Apocalypse Now, The Thin
Red Line, even the goofy Patton, (with a notable exception of the absur
dist noir classic, Dr. Strange!ove,) pose as anti-war films. It gives them a
chic legitimacy, a closer look convinces that these are not anti-war films
at all. At heart they are anti-military, yet glory in death, violence, and
atrocity. It doesn’t trouble me that people flock to see films that revel in
violence, it bothers me that they accept what they have seen as truth and
fact. If you need to see an anti-war film look at All Quiet on the Western
Front, or Glory. If you want to see the real results of war, look at Shoah,
The Sorrow and the Pity, The Best Years of Our Lives, or the chilling
recent Macedonian film, Before the Rain. For anti-war films that pull no
punches, find the older Japanese films, Harp of Burma or Fires on the
Plain. Better than that, read any recent Time article about the Serbian
massacres at Suva Reka. But if history must be learned from film and
media, look at sources that put history into clear focus, not films that
ask us to accept death as entertainment and distorted history as reality.

Take a book to bed, not to bath!
Books and water don’t mix. Literally hundreds
of books have been returned to the library in a
dampened, unusable condition. Since others
are waiting for the book you have on loan,
please handle carefully and remember that
other people want to read this same book.
When the library must replace a damaged
book, there is a charge for the book and an
additional $5.00 processing fee. Why? Glenn
Poch, Head of Technical Services, says that
book (and cassette) processing is time con
suming and costly. We cannnot simply switch
with a new book from a book store. Often we
buy books specifically bound for heavy library
use. Preparationfor patron use includes: with
drawing the damaged book, reordering, receiv
ing, invoicing, cataloging, adding to our data
base, labeling, adding security & date due
slips, laminating and stamping. Also add the
cost of bar codes and other materials to staff
time. It takes a whole Technical Services
Department to handle withdrawing, purchas
ing, and preparation of the materials you and
others want to borrow!

Summer 1991
DEERFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY
^.ifruvitcui
*De4j6.
Graham Greene died April 3,1991, but as
"LeMonde" said the next day, "Graham
Greene will never die... Greene has always
been a man at the dizzying brink of things
where faith wavers, spies become double
agents, love turns to sadism, and anything
can happen."
No author I can think of wrote encom
passing narrative characterizations like
Greene. His novels were defined by charac
ters and values (or lack of values) rather than
plot. Greene was a master at describing time
and place and drawing the reader straight into
the dark and perverse side of a world where
good and evil are exposed in every character.
No author identified so clearly the underclass
the world - what he termed "the torturable
'ass." No author understood the gulf be
tween rich and poor, powerful and powerless
Greene did. To me his themes were broad and
universal - not confined to, yet focused on,
healing, reconciliation and forgiveness.
Greene penned these ideas in an outline of
reverses: a world of betrayal, powerlessness,
pain, and evil with the only redeeming
dimension in life being the spiritual one. In
The Power and the Glory he presents us with
a novel of persecution and despair, yet it is a
book that completely defines the spiritual
side of man’s nature - regardless of religious
tradition.
Many books hold special moments for us,
and we revisit them to regain those pleasures,
or touch those moments. All readers have
their favorite books - my favorites are almost
all Graham Greene. The books I am recom
mending are: Brighton Rock, The
Comedians, The Heart of the Matter, The
Honorary Consul, Our Man in Havana, The
Power and the Glory, and The Quiet
American. There are so many others I suggest
you browse the shelves and read any and all
of them. I will discuss The Power and the
ory in the library’s fall book discussion.

�Non Resident Card
Fees Increase
Residents of incorporated Deerfield are
entitled to free library cards. Non-residents
who want a Deerfield card may purchase a
^m11 privileges non-resident library card for
^el50. This fee is set by the State and determined by a special formula related to
residents’ lax fees. The non-resident card fee
was formerly $125.00.
The boundaries of service for Deerfield
Library are the same as those of the village
limits - NOT related to U.S. Post office ZIP
codes or West Deerfield Township limits.
With a Deerfield card you can borrow
from any of North Suburban Libraries’
public libraries. (This may not include
videos).
F. Y.l.
Fines... As of May 1, overdue fines
were raised from five to ten cents
per day. A significant line item in
the budget, fines have not been al
tered in 15 years. The increase also
brings fines in line with what neigh
boring libraries charge. Video
overdue fines remain $2.00 a day.
Since others may be waiting for the
materials you have, we appreciate
prompt returns. Reminder: If you
lose or damage library books, there
is a non refundable cost of the item
plus a processing fee of $5.00. Un
returned video: replacement cost,
plus $20 processing fee.
A new brochure, "A Guide to
Library Services" is now at the Cir
culation Desk. This brochure was
made possible by a donation from
the Friends of the Deerfield
Library.
Donations welcome... The Refer
ence Department would appreciate
donations of Consumer Reports
magazines from the last five years.
Due to heavy use, the library’s
copies deteriorate quickly.
With the cost of books spiraling,
(average costs: nonfiction, $40 and
fiction, $25) the library appreciates
book donations, including paper
backs, in good condition. The
Townley Club of Deerfield
generously donated $250 to
replenish the library’s classics. We
also thank those who have donated
books, magazines and annual
reports.
Exhibits at the entrance to the
library are changed monthly. We
welcome your collections of inter
est, with artifacts, if they relate to
library books.________________
