Searchers Unite
Hey all you masters of random bits o' knowledge and intrepid google searchers! Anybody up for a challenge? I was listening to an old episode of Science Friday with Ira Flatow (the 11/10/06 segment with Steven Johnson talking about his book, The Ghost Map [it sounded good,too]), and sometime in the last minute or so of the episode, Ira brought up an author, Roucher? (sounded like roo-SHAY), who wrote essays for The New Yorker in the 1930s on science topics including Typhoid Mary. I did a slew of searches online, but I couldn't find him/her.
Anybody have tips or heard of this person? It sounded like their essays were gathered in a book or maybe they wrote science story books as well.
Edit: He may have been Public Health Director in New York around that same era.
