What Biologist Cornman wants to see is a concerted research effort to study everything in man's environment, on the chance that it would solve the riddle of many types of cancer for which the cause is still unknown. The project would resemble the mass screening, currently under way, of all substances now on chemists' shelves, in the hope of finding cures for cancer.

Dynamics' stock is one of Wall Street's most glamorous, and hardly a week goes by without a spate of reports about another project or merger planned by the company. Last week three mergers were rumored; all were denied by the company.

As a further inducement, General Dynamics lets its scientists delve into the most abstruse and uncharted fields with freedom, aware that in an age of rapidly changing technology the most basic research may prove valuable-perhaps even indispensable-for some new project. But Pace realizes that profits cannot be put off forever. Says he: "When our scientists begin to see a light, the planning people must show them how that idea can be put to use in the corporation. You must always tie research and planning together...
