...public's anxiety, anger and skepticism have been reinforced by the exposure of many remarkably human frailties within the halls of science. Biologist Barry Commoner's Science and Survival, documenting an erosion of scientific integrity and denouncing official secrecy and lying about nuclear fallout, came in 1966 as merely an early ripple in a wave of muckraking that has washed away the glowing image of the scientist as some kind of superman.
