It's really a rather common story: There's just no room for scientific
truth in government-funded work when the truth in any way goes against a
program that the government--or any of its special interests--wants to
carry through. And I believe it's an outrage that we're taxed to support
dishonest scientists . . . or to finance science that's being paid to
provide a facade.

at the University of California at Berkeley, and founder and first
Director of the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory's Biomedical Research
Division) discussing how funding from the AEC (precursor of the DOE)
for his research and staff at Lawrence Livermore was cut off after
he and his colleague, Arthur Tamplin, began to publish their initial
findings in 1969 that there is no safe threshold level of exposure
to low-level ionizing radiation.
