And Seth Brown's Reply ?

 I anxiously await Seth Brown's reply to my defense of Isaac

    Newton's HONOR . I hope I was one of MANY who responded to her

    Sunday Journal column .

            I also wrote to " Ask the Globe " ( Boston Globe ) about

    this matter. They responded that they would get around to it .

          Is it possible that legions of scholars at Ivy League

    colleges ( Brown and Harvard ) are indifferent to Newton's

    reputation ?  Has scientific illiteracy become a national plague ?

           How low can journalism sink ?  My own amateurish investigation

    of current publications leads me to believe that Seth - perhaps

    naively and innocently - was passing on rubbish she picked up

    from some ignorant jackass TV evangelist .

            If she can PROVE that Isaac Newton ever FUDGED a result in

    a scientific paper, I will contribute all my summer lemonade

    funds to the Providence Journal Santa Claus Fund !

          Top scientist are HUMAN - to be sure. They might plagiarize

    and take credit for ideas not quite their own. They can be vain

    and greedy. They might crave fame . But fudging results is not

    one of their foibles.

           There is always the REALITY CHECK !

        Corrupt " for hire " corporate scientists are birds of another

    feather. They are the despicable prostitutes of the profession.
