"Sure, It's Rocket Science, But Who Needs Scientists?", by James Glanz. The New York Times, 17 June 2001.
"Science's influence in public policy is at a low ebb with this White House," Glanz reports. He notes that Dr. D. Allan Bromley, the science advisor to President Bush's father, is critical of the current administration for not yet selecting a science or science and technology advisor, and for its "tepid financial support of science." And the article notes the conflicting messages of the President in his choosing to downplay scientific findings regarding climate changes, while pushing plans to develop a missile defense system that is based on even less certain scientific research.
