Private ownership is a foreign ideology. Our system is that the land is yours for as long as you work it, and the fruits of your labor belong to you. But you don't own it. It's the people's property...
...brokerage house back offices, where the huge volumes of shares traded had to be processed by hand, the working hours extended from early in the morning until well into the night.

Furthermore, to be eligible for federal grants, scientists must increasingly comply with a growing list of rules and regulations, some of them clearly too stringent and cumbersome. M.I.T. President Jerome Wiesner worries about the effects of the extraordinary amount of paper work required to obtain a federal grant. Usually the scientist, or his university, must fill out endless fact sheets crammed with trivial questions. OSHA wants a copy; the Defense Department requires five or six; HEW, DOE, EPA-all of the burgeoning flock of federal alphabet agencies-can and do demand a full...
