From the New York Times, March 30, 2004 At the Center of the Storm Over Bush And Science By James Glanz WASHINGTON — The average scientific dispute is a joust in obscurity, a clash over technical matters that few but the immediate combatants grasp or are even aware of.
Dr. John H. Marburger III, President Bush's science adviser, might relish a dose of that obscurity right now. Instead, he has become the first line of defense against accusations that the Bush administration has systematically distorted scientific fact and stacked technical advisory committees to advance favored policies on the environment, on biomedical research and on other areas like the search for unconventional weapons in Iraq.

Fermilab Gardening Club Meets Today | ||
| ||
|
Combine relaxation, exercise and good fresh food and what do you get?
A garden plot in the Fermilab garden area. These plots are
managed by the Fermilab Garden Club and are available to
Fermilab employees, retirees, users, and contractors.
Each plot is 20' x 40' and has access to a water pipe. The
yearly membership fee is $5.00 per plot. Some of the plots are plowed
each year and need minimal preparation before planting. Others are
not plowed and are ideal for perennials. The club maintains its own
rototillers and lawn mowers, which are available to gardeners for a small
fee. Organic fertilizer is also available. Anyone gardening for the
first time is invited to make use of free advice from the many
experienced gardeners who are part of the club.
The Gardening Club will meet today at noon in the SDSS conference
room on WH7W. If you would like more information, contact
Eileen Berman.
