Quote for the Day:

The launch of Sputnik also led to a much closer integration of scientific expertise and political decision making. President Dwight D. Eisenhower answered this national science challenge by pulling the country's top researchers into his inner circle and seeking their unfiltered advice. In 1957, he appointed the first official presidential science adviser, MIT president James Killian, and launched the distinguished President's Science Advisory Committee. As Eisenhower would later put it, "This bunch of scientists was one of the few groups that I encountered in Washington who seemed to be there to help the country and not to help themselves."
