Physics is, hopefully, simple. Physicists are not.

On May 7, a few weeks after the accident at Three-Mile Island, I was in Washington. I was there to refute some of that propaganda that Ralph Nader, Jane Fonda and their kind are spewing to the news media in their attempt to frighten people away from nuclear power. I am 71 years old, and I was working 20 hours a day. The strain was too much. The next day, I suffered a heart attack. You might say that I was the only one whose health was affected by that reactor near Harrisburg. No, that would be wrong. It was not the reactor. It was Jane Fonda. Reactors are not dangerous.

In our educational institutions applied science may almost be described as a "no-man's land."

One may say that predictions are dangerous particularly for the future. If the danger involved in a prediction is not incurred, no consequence follows and the uncertainty principle is not violated.

Life improves slowly and goes wrong fast, and only catastrophe is clearly visible.

I think that intellectuals who end up in hell will have to read page proofs and check indexes there.

My experience has been in a short 77 years that in the end when you fight for a desperate cause and have good reasons to fight, you usually win.
