...People expect us, by virtue of our size and mission, to adhere to a purer standard than (other) private institutions," Brewer said, adding quickly that he does not object to that role for the University. "I think we ought to act toward our neighbors in neighborly fashsion...
...exciting discovery. While Pioneer was close to Saturn's rings, a detector recording a bombardment by charged particles fell practically silent for twelve seconds, then began registering particles again. Analysis indicated that Pioneer had been briefly shielded from the rain of particles as it flew under a massive object...
Based on these readings and others that showed changes in the surrounding magnetic field, scientists concluded that the spacecraft had passed within about 2,500 km (1,560 miles) of what appears to be a previously undiscovered moon* with a diameter as large as 600 km (370 miles). "The object was very close," says Physicist John Simpson of the University of Chicago. "It could be rocky or composed largely of ice. Either material will effectively block high energy particles." The moonlet, in orbit about 90,000 km (56,000 miles) above Saturn's cloud tops, was nicknamed "Pioneer rock...
...Because the orbits of Saturn's moons are not precisely defined, some scientists think that the object could be one of the planet's ten known moons...

His fears are for himself, not for the human condition; his vaunted independence is merely a lack of compassion.
