Scientists puzzled by press coverage of AAAS convention

Questionable Values in Progress and Duty
World progress would speed if people talked less and worked harder. Isolationalism means power without responsibility. Wrong doing carries penalties without payment plans. Dodging work as a business could make many millionaires. Accidents occur, yet one should not experience them. Faith and patience aid when needed. Discipline demands a wise teacher for children. Today’s successful figures often wear a smiling front, not sincerity.
