Dr. F***i & Co. - should we have been more vigilant?
Everyone is familiar with President Eisenhower's warning about the "military-industrial complex" that he foresaw in his January 1961 farewell address.
Fewer recall this additional warning:
"The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.
Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite."
Does this sound familiar?
