This message was right next to the Urth digest in my email in-box this AM.

"I am tired of this thing called science.... We have spent millions in
that sort of thing for the last few years, and it is time it should be
stopped."

-- Simon Cameron, U. S. Senator from Pennsylvania, demanding that
funding end for the Smithsonian Institution, 1861

Taken from The Experts Speak: The Definitive Compendium of Authoritative
Misinformation (Cerf and Navasky, New York: Pantheon Books, 1984).
