Much of the stumbling and incoherence that gets in the way of effective communication these days has its origin in our failure early on to develop respect for thought processes. The way thoughts are converted into language calls for no less attention in formal schooling than geography or mathematics or biology or any of the other systematic subjects. Squeezing essential meaning into arbitrary and unworkable time limits leads to glibness on one end and exasperation on the other. We need not put up with either...
...serious economic assessment of health-sciences research will demonstrate that it has been remarkably cost effective. For example, the funds that were expended to develop the polio vaccine 30 years ago were quite small compared to the value derived from the virtual eradication of poliomyelitis. It has been calculated that if polio had not been prevented, the cost to the country in 1990 of caring for the millions of people with polio would exceed all the funds that have been spent by the NIH in the past 30 years. In 1955 essentially all children who developed acute leukemia died quickly...

The President and other key government members have repeatedly argued that Iraq's 15-year effort to develop nukes could succeed within the next few months. "Those who would measure the timetable for Saddam's atomic program in years may be seriously underestimating the reality of that situation," Bush declared during his Thanksgiving Day visit to the troops in Saudi Arabia...
That Saddam intends to develop a nuclear arsenal is doubted by no one. He has openly bragged that Iraq will be the first Arab nation to wield an atom bomb. But most experts -- including those in the Administration -- believe that Bush is greatly overstating the immediate danger posed by Iraq's nuclear arms program...
