Popkin and Chomsky have also protested that their interrogation before the grand jury endangers academic freedom. Twenty-one Harvard professors, including Edwin O. Reischauer. John Kenneth Galbraith, John K. Fairbank, Karl W. Deutsch, James Q. Wilson, Samuel P. Huntington, Seymour Martin Lipset, and Doris Kearns, have signed affidavits supporting Popkin's argument...

...effect, Deutsch and his colleagues used the techniques of social science to measure social science. Specifically, they performed an extensive statistical analysis of 62 major social science breakthroughs from 1900 to 1965. Included were such striking individual achievements as Weber's analyses of bureaucracy, Gandhi's ideas on nonviolent action, and Mao Tse-tung's theories of peasant and guerrilla organization, as well as concepts developed by scholarly teams: general systems analysis, cybernetics, ecosystem theories and structural linguistics. The researchers constructed their own criteria for inclusion on the list. One key question: Did the advance lead...
While individuals have been responsible for the largest number of breakthroughs since 1900, Deutsch and his associates concluded that "teams of social scientists seem likely to be the main source of major advances during the next decade," as they have been in the past 35 years. Supporting that contention was the parallel discovery that a handful of urban or university centers were responsible for a disproportionate number of the achievements. Chicago, Cambridge and New York accounted for one-half of all U.S. contributions. (Since 1930, the U.S. has been responsible for more than three-quarters of the breakthroughs...
...years, a period similar to that for breakthroughs in technology. Insights into new patterns of behavior have become relatively rare. More common in recent years have been advances depending on such quantitative factors as survey research and large-scale tabulations, both of which require "major amounts of capital." Deutsch and his colleagues agree that "both types of scientific personalities, the quantifiers and the pattern-recognizers-the 'counters' and the 'poets'-will continue to be needed...
