...into three parts in the first part Santilli tries to explain in layman's terms some of the physical problems that he feels are being ignored. In the second part he recounts his personal experiences with leading academic institutions including Harvard and MIT with physics publications such as the Journal of the American Physical Society with U.S. government laboratories and with government agencies like the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy. In the third part he presents some tentative recommendations for improving intellectual freedom in the U.S. physics community...
Santilli cities many instances of what he feels was unethical behavior by leading institutions-all of it directed against research which raised questions about the strict validity of Einsteinian relativity. One example was the year and one half delay in publication of a research paper submitted to the journal of the American Physical Society-which normally publishes papers in a matter of weeks-while information on the paper was leaked to competing researchers so a rebuttal could be published soon after its release. Also mentioned were the categorical rejection of 13 grant proposals to the National Science Foundation submitted under...
...Yorker (1925-30), managing editor of the young and struggling FORTUNE (1931-35) general manager and vice president of Time Inc. (1935-38) and publisher of TIME (1937-39).

Some observers complained that the press had been too zealous in describing Fedders' travails, and protested that as long as an official is getting the job done, he should not be penalized for his private life. After trying to dissuade the Journal from printing the story, Fedders' lawyer, Nathan Lewin, dismissed the piece as "gratuitous" and "exaggerated." Yet a senior Administration official privately conceded that President Reagan could not keep on a known wife abuser, no matter how effectively he performed his job. Indeed, the White House had been informed of Fedders' behavior last year when Mrs. Fedders, after hearing...
