"In the year the atomic age was born a young man on a bicycle appointed himself monitor of spring in the nation's capital. Starting before sun-up each morning, he pedaled miles and saw much before his workday began at the offices of the State Department. That the year was 1945 is of no importance, for the events he chronicled could have taken place in 1845 or 2015. The rites of spring are eternal. " - from the foreword by Roger Tory Peterson
