...Columbia's Dickinson W. Richards, 1956 prizewinner for his work in cardiology: "Every scientist suffers when there is any restriction, at any level, to the free exchange of knowledge. Except insofar as restrictions are required by the exigencies of national defense, we believe that there should be no restrictions." ¶The Rockefeller Institute's Fritz Lipmann (1953 prize-discoverer of coenzyme A) cited a research group whose classified work in a fast-moving field became obsolete before it was permitted to be published.

...Ford and other automakers, the Michigan decision means that hereafter, when the union strikes a key production plant, the employers will have to pay the bulk of the strike benefits, except at the establishment actually on strike.

He had turned his back on the world of money, but had just enough left to be treated as an easy mark by many writers and artists. As a writer he had just enough talent to wonder if he had enough...
...mystical animal overtones of Romain Gary's The Roots of Heaven. He professes to see Patricia as a study in "the passage from innocence to non-innocence." But the reader who, like the monkey, pulls at Kessel's eyelids is apt to find they conceal nothing except what meets...
