On "Invasive" Species

The September issue of Harper's Magazine has three articles sure to spark conversations. Besides an essay on how college has sold its soul and a grumpy review of four of Manhattan's most expensive restaurants, there's a timely article by Andrew Cockburn, "Weed Whackers", on "invasive" plant species, and how the Monsanto company encourages the use of its product Roundup.
