...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...
...type research reactor whose fuel rods are suspended under 25 ft. of water, which acts not only as coolant and moderator but also shields its human operators from radioactivity. In the spring of 1958, physicists peering down through it saw that the water was getting cloudy. They called Chemist-Bacteriologist Eric B. Fowler of the laboratory's radioactive-waste disposal group, who found that it was swarming with microorganisms, about i billion per quart. The bugs turned out to be rod-shaped bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas, which were feeding on resin and felt in the water purifying system...

He couldn't comprehend spending that much money on the customers when we could spend...
