      Times sure have changed.

      Can you imagine what would happen today if a bunch of physicist created a carbon pile reactor underneath a football stadium of if a contemporary Jonas Salk tested a new vaccine by injecting children in the elementary school down the street?

      Our forebears took risk that appear insane to us and yet we all benefited enormously. I wonder what we’ve lost out on in the last 40 years as we have grown progressively more timid?
