...research." Scholars often frame their grant proposals broadly enough to blanket their real research interests. The sociologist interested in youth gangs, for example, is more likely to get money for a study of slum neighborhoods. Conversely, a biologist who merely wanted to find out whether a high-protein fish flour was unsafe for human consumption landed a grant by emphasizing that he wanted to know if the flour would induce cancer...
...world's people are undernourished, and their most crippling deficiency is in protein, the basic building block of the human body. Its lack causes mental retardation, stunted growth, early death. Now U.S. industry and Government scientists have developed an inexpensive food supplement rich in protein. It is a "flour" made by grinding up whole fish, and Interior Secretary Stewart Udall reports that it can restore balance to the diet at a daily cost of only half a cent per person. U.S. fisheries alone, he adds, can produce enough of the raw material to meet the needs of 300 million...
Approval of the fish flour by the Food and Drug Administration marked the end of a long struggle within the Government.

The chamber, of course, has no police power, but it prodded property owners to tidy up unsightly lots, encouraged Boys' Clubs members to move in on cluttered areas with flour sacks for trash, and ran a regular school program on beautification with films and 15-minute lectures. San Antonio Mayor Walter W. McAllister called his city's recognition "very gratifying but no real surprise." Indeed not. In the 19 years that San Antonio has been entering the contest, the city...
