The strongest nation will be the one that applies chemistry most effectively, wrote Science editor Philip Abelson in Saturday Review: “The long-range interests of this nation require a strong chemical profession and basic to it are strong chemistry departments in the universities. Yet, while NASA was receiving an annual $5 billion, a sum that represented almost all the money asked by the agency, chemistry received only a small fraction of its requests. . . .
