...studies that are remote from their interests. Sir George Porter, a British chemist who won a Nobel in 1967, recalls that he had to put up a stiff fight to be allowed to study science instead of Latin or Greek at his grammar school in England. "Very few Americans speak ancient languages," he says.-"But for 150 years there has been a tradition in America of appreciation of science." Another factor, says M.I.T.
