...their pure science research was done by someone else. During the nineteenth century, all the important innovations upon which we based our technology were made abroad. And even in twentieth century nuclear physics, the United States -- first country to develop the atomic bomb -- exploited the theory of foreigners like Bohr, Fermi, Einstein, and Bethe...

...list of good works is dizzying: the 200-in. Mount Palomar telescope, probing the lightyears; Nobel Prizewinner Niels Bohr's atomic research projects in Copenhagen; vast national parks-Wyoming's Jackson Hole, the Virgin Islands National Park, Maine's Acadia National Park; Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art; the site of the United Nations; the restored Reims Cathedral; and the rebuilt Stoa of Attalus in Athens. Colonial Williamsburg rose from the American past, and Rockefeller Center pointed to the American future (and changed the New York skyline). Schools, from Louvain to Tokyo and from Harvard...
...plus some $35,625 in other windfall gifts that will be applied to his famed jungle hospital in Gabon, central Africa. That evening, at a state banquet in Copenhagen's Christian-borg Castle, Dr. Schweitzer met another Nobelman, Denmark's aging (74) Atomic Physicist Niels Bohr, for the first time. Seated together, the two talked seriously, reportedly found themselves in complete agreement that nuclear test explosions should be stopped...
...Danes stood their ground. Their Atomic Energy Commission, which includes Nobel Laureate Niels Bohr, Denmark's grand old man of nuclear physics, had bluntly warned its government that should the Skate have a serious accident in the Copenhagen harbor, dangerous radioactive materials might be released. "If only one-fourth of the radioactivity aboard got out," said one physicist darkly, "all human beings within a mile around would perish." Suddenly Premier Hansen did not stand alone: it turned out that the British had also had qualms about the recent visit of the Nautilus. Sure enough, when asked, Her Majesty...
