...taped recording of a conversation between Stempel and Enright that made their collusion unmistakable to any normally skeptical man (TIME, Sept. 15, 1958). Only later, after other charges became public and a grand jury began to investigate, was the show taken under direct NBC control, and finally dropped. Said Kintner: "By hindsight, we recognize we should have dug deeper...
Proposed Cures. On the whole, Kintner likes what he sees, has little patience with the various prescriptions that are being suggested to cure TV's ills. One proposal that Kintner & Co. disposed of convincingly is an industry-appointed TV "czar" with power to enforce balanced programing. "The concept," said Kintner last week, "is not workable for [television] any more than [for] the newspaper industry or the magazine industry." Kintner did not add the most plausible argument against the idea: the hard-lobbying broadcasters might hamstring a TV commissioner as easily as they have...

Underdog Biology. Biochemistry and other biological sciences are even less favored. Biochemists work in poorly equipped laboratories, and most of their meager funds are allocated to practical projects related to public health. There is little opportunity for basic research or the pursuit of promising but distant goals. Said Harvard's Bacteriologist Bernard Davis: "The Russians take planning seriously. A committee of elders decided what problems need solving this year...
...scientific visitors pretty well agreed that Communism's rigid dogmas do not seriously confine Russian scientists. In their laboratories their minds are free, and if they are in an officially favored science, they are almost as free to follow their favorite projects as U.S. scientists are. Said Physicist Robert Erode of the University of California at Berkeley: "People can compartmentalize their minds. The argument that there can be no creative science in a restricted society has not held water." Most U.S. visitors agree that Russian scientists are less restricted by political ideology than by the rigid hierarchies...
