Brockway Mac-Millan, a retired vice president at Bell Laboratories who directed the development of the Safeguard antiballistic-missile software system in the early 1970s, agrees. "Given the proper tools and enough time," he says, "I think the software problems can be solved." --By Philip Elmer-DeWitt
Other physicists, agreeing with Rabi, take the view that the military-scientific partnership was not only dangerous to the country but detrimental to the quality of American science as well. Philip Morrison, celebrated for his teaching at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, carried the container of plutonium in his hands from Los Alamos to the Trinity test site and, like Agnew, was on Tinian the days of the bombings. Now he spends a good part of his intellectual life arguing for disarmament. Morrison also felt that the Bomb was needed to end the war. Looking back today, however, he says...
...understand better the genetic basis of cancer, Philip Leder, a molecular geneticist at the Harvard Medical School and his colleague Timothy Stewart, have bred a line of transgenic mice that may someday serve as a model for human breast malignancy. He designed a DNA hybrid consisting of a gene called c-myc, which has been implicated in animal and human cancer, linked to a regulatory segment of another gene that is expressed in developing and lactating breast tissue. Soon after female mice with the injected gene give birth and begin nursing, they grow sizable tumors in their breasts. Perhaps more...
