...such sweeping economic changes will lead almost imperceptibly to a politically united Europe. One of his few critics is West Germany's free-trade-minded Economics Minister Ludwig Erhard, who objects that the "planifiers" will end by throttling free enterprise. Not so, reasons Marjolin. Supranational planning "will not hinder competition,'' but "guide its expression into the most fruitful channels...
...Food and Drug Administration, which is currently revising rules governing the testing of new drugs, has shown good sense in its promise to the National Institute of Health that the new rules will not hinder qualified researchers. New discoveries are made more rapidly in medicine than perhaps any other field. While it is essential that the rules be tightened to prevent another mishap like the one which produced thousands of thalidomide-deformed babies, it is equally important that legitimate, controlled testing be carried on unhampered, so that the benefits of research may quickly reach the patient...

For example, Professor Lovell of the Jodrell Bank. Observatory warned very early that the blast would greatly hinder radio astronomy and might create new dangers for men in space...

...time, stifling information makes it difficult for scientists to exchange ideas. "Work has meaning only as it is connected to the general fund of knowledge and thereby established as a base for further increase of knowledge." He observes that to stop publication of work done in one field may hinder the progress of others. Historically, significant advances have been the result of cross-fertilization: solution of a problem in one area leads unpredictably to the solution of another problem in an entirely unrelated field...
