Comparison of science in U.S. and U.S.S.R. was subject of article by Prof. Robert E Marshak, Univ. of Rochester. Distinguishing between "pure science or basic research and applied science or technological development," he said U.S. was "doing exceedingly well in basic science. . . . The striking American performance in pure science in recent years results from a combination of fortunate circumstances. A primary factor is that the openness, freedom and emphasis on individual initiative that characterizes the American way of life provide a favorable climate for the practice of pure science. . . "On the other hand, in applied science the U.S.S.R. has demonstrated its capability of organizing large team undertakings whose favorable outcome depends as much on careful mobilization of material and human resources as on scientific brainpower. . . ."
