President Arling has put his long—awaited economic restructuring program before the Congress． It provides a coordinated program of investment credits，research grants，educational reforms，and tax changes designed to make American industry more competitive．This is necessary to reverse the economic slide into unemployment，lack of growth，and trade deficits that have plagued the economy for the past six years． The most liberal wing of the President’s party has called for stronger and more direct action． They want an incomes policy to check inflatiml while Federal financing helps rebuild industry behind a wall of protective tariffs． The Republicans，however，decry even the modest，graduated tax increases in the President’s program．They want tax cuts and a more open market．They say if Federal money has to be injected into the economy，let it through defence spending． Both these alternatives ignore the unique nature of the economic problem before us．It is not simply a matter of markets or financing．The new technology allows vastly increased production for those able to master it．But it also threatens those who fail to adopt it with permanent second-class citizenship in the world economy．If an industry cannot lever itself up to the leading stage of technological advances，then it will not be able to compete effectively．If it cannot do this．no amount of government protectionism or access to foreign markets can keep it profitable for long．Without the profits and experience of technological excellence to reinvest，that industry can only fall still further behind its foreign competitors． So the crux is the technology and that is where the President’s program focuse d．The danger is not that a plan will not be passed，it is that the ideologues of right and left will distort the bill with amendments that will blur its focus on technology．The economic restructuring plan should be passed intact．If we fail to restructure our economy now，we may not get a second chance．

Science is a dominant theme in our culture．Since it touches almost every facet of our life，educated people need at least sonle acquaintance with its structure and operation．They should also have all understanding of the subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are．An understanding of general characteristics of science as well as specific scientific concepts is easier to a ttain if one knows something about the things that excite and frustrate the scientist． This book is written for the intelligent student or lay person whose acquaintance wit h science is superficial；for the person who has been presented with science as a musty storehouse of dried facts； for the person who sees the chief objective of science as the production of gadgets；and for the person who views the scientist as some sort of magician．The book can be used to supplement a course in any science，to accompany any course that attempts to give an understanding of the modern world．or independent of any course——simply to provide a better understanding of science．We hope this book will lead readers to a broader perspective on scientific attitudes and a more realistic view of what science is，who scientists are，and what they do．It will give them an awareness and understanding of the relationship between science and our culture and an appreciation of the roles science may play in our culture．In addition，readers may learn to appreciate the relationship between scientific views and some of the values and philosophies that are pervasive in our culture． We have tried to present in this book an accurate and up-to-date picture of the scientific community and the people who populate it．That population has in recent years come to comprise more and more women．This increasing role of women in the scientific subculture is not an unique incident but，rather，part of the trend evident in all segments of society as more women enter traditionally male-dominated fields and make significant contributions．In discussing these changes and contributions，however，we are faced with a language that is implicitly sexist，one that uses male nouns or pronouns in referring to unspecified individuals．To offset this built—in bias，we have adopted the policy of using plural nouns and pronouns whenever possible and，when absolutely necessary，ahernating he and she．This policy is far from being ideal，but it is at least an acknowledgment of the inadequacy of our language in treating half of the human race equally． We have also tried to make the book entertaining as well as informative．Our approach is usually informal．We feel，as do many other scientists．that we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously．As the reader may observe，we see science as a delightful pastime rather than as a grim and dreary way to earn a living．

It’s summer．In the United States，it’s the season of swimming pools，barbeques，camping and road trips． Road trip vacations where the car journey is part of the fun are especially popular with college students，who like to explore the country on wheels．These budget trips are ideal for students who often have plenty of free time but little money． “Ever since I went to college，I’ve been traveling around a lot，exploring the country，”said Austin Hawkins，a 19-year-old college student from New York．This summer，Hawkins and his friends have spent weekends traveling in New England． The best part about car trips，said Hawkins，is that you can be spontaneous．“On a road trip，if you get interested in things you see along the way you can stop and explore．” Matt Roberts，a 20-year-old student from Ohio who drove to Montreal，Canada，agrees．“With road trips you don’t have to plan in advance，you can j ust get into a car and drive．” Even with high gas prices，driving with friends is cheaper than flying．Roberts paid about 40 dollars for gas，but a round trip plane ticket would have cost nearly 400 dollars． Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s．Newly paved roads and improved cars made it possible to travel longer distances．Motels started appearing outside cities． By the 1950s，car ownership became the norm．Construction of the US interstate highway systern began in 1956 and motel and restaurant chains popped up everywhere making long distance trips easier． Today，the US has the highest car ownership rate in the world．Only 8 percent of American homes have no car，according to the most recent US census． Though many college students don’t own a car，most have access to one．On many of Hawkins’ trips，they used a borrowed van． Hawkins’most memorable road trip took place over spring break．He and two friends drove from New York to New Orleans to volunteer，helping rebuild the city after Hurricane Katrina hit it last July．They crossed the country in tWO days and slept in their car in church parking lots． Roberts’road trip to Canada last winter was even more eventful．Upon arriving in Montreal， they were lost in a blizzard and shivering in the-25°cold．To find their hotel，they turned on a laptop and drove around in circles until they found a spot with wireless Internet coverage． “I know we should have planned better，but we’re young．Now，when I see those guys I always say：‘Remember when we were lost in the snow storm!’I’ll never forget that．”
