     Letters to Fortune   October 1974

     To the Editors:
     In your August editorial, "Truth and Consequences on Frontiers 
of Science," you assert a Frankenstein model of science that may be
widely accepted but has a dubious foundation in fact.  You alluded
to "a doctrine that is widely and sometimes passionately avowed in
the scientific community--that scientists should be free to pursue
the truth all the way, and that any attempt to set a limit or call
a halt represents intolerable interference with scientific freedom."
      
     I question whether you can find a single instance of the
assertion of such a claim ... Tragically we are in an era today when
experimentation is being adjudged guilty until proven innocent.
