government gave him several million dollars to put an instrument up on a

I guess your right...maybe I've been reading too much Science Fiction....
<<<<slap!>> I've told you before...you can't EVER read too much Science
Fiction!!<Slap!..Slap!>>>
where the intrepid Scientist discovers something new and marvelous to the
acclaim of all. "Frank" as you call him...(I would never so presume)..wrote
something to the effect of "being treated as a paraih" ,having "become a
Science Machine" and how events had "taken all the fun out of science".
