Scope and Contents

Woodbury's stance against the construction of a Rainbow Bridge dam was expressed in an article he published in Science. This intensified debate over the dam. His contract for studying the ecological impacts of the Flaming Gorge reservoir was renewed for another year. Woodbury recorded the election of John F. Kennedy. Interestingly, Woodbury's son, Max, operated UNIVAC and other early computers which calculated the election results. Woodbury referred to these computers as "brain machines."
