This is an edited collection of papers written between 1960 and 1967 and dealing with various aspects of science and government, with special attention to policies for the support of research. Most of the papers have previously been published. They deal with a wide range of issues including the following: a review and analysis of the arguments for and against a department of science, an analysis of arguments and criteria for federal support of research in universities and in other research institutions, the role and promise of new technology in meeting educational needs of the future, the role of national science policy in maximizing technology transfer and spurring innovation in the economy, the function of basic research supported by mission-oriented agencies of the federal government, the arguments for and against allocating research resources in terms of specific technology areas such as space and atomic energy instead of in terms of particular social purposes such as health, defense, or food production, the penetration of ideas and styles of thought derived from natural science into the general culture. The book is designed for the general reader, and is intended to outline the thinking of the author about various aspects of what has come to be known as "science policy," i.e., the national allocation of scientific and technical resources and the relation between science and other public purposes. While the book does not provide any systematic development or closely knit theoretical structure for scientific policy, it does develop a consistent pattern of thought which is based on considerable practical experience of the author in advising federal agencies on scientific policy and in the actual operations of the various institutions of science inside and outside the government. The papers mostly stress the importance of flexibility and multiple and partially competing centers of decision about science. They point out that the unique strength of the American scientific establishment stems from the fact that science is not isolated from the other functions of government but is closely coupled into all the major "missions."

Love. What is love? Love is an action word. It is an active and living demonstration of something within you. How can we talk about love without the one instrumental in creating the universe, the Creator of love? How can you leave him out of love? We know life is a balance of male and female, up and down, in and out, hot and cold, good and bad, right and wrong, night and day, sun and moon. Since God created all things with balance; that would conclude that love has an aspect of balance in itself. Imagine you are looking at a pair of scales and on one side you find the word "light" and on the other side, you find the word "darkness." The light side of love represents all the days of joy, peace, happiness, and we have a dark side of love. The dark side of love has pain and suffering. This book is entitled Love Has No Feelings. Many of the stories shared in this book come from real-life experiences of characters trying to decipher love in their minds through love relationships, such as marriage, divorce, parenting, children, relatives, friends, and enemies.
