...goal was utterly unrealistic; by last week the campaign had collected less than $2,000,000, including $250,000 cajoled from the Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., the country's largest employer.

Science, too, occupies a special place in the minds of government officials, who are frankly puzzled by those Westerners who are now vilifying modern science and its goals. "How could there be any antiscientific feeling in the Soviet Union...
