    Had to Stop Reading

    I had to stop reading at this point. " Why venture into such challenging territory? . . . Because before blithely writing off scientists as rigid and uncreative you should get a glimpse of how the other half thinks." Any nitwit who thinks or has ever thought that scientists are uncreative or particularly left-brained shouldn't be writing for Salon or any other serious publication. That Ms. Miller seems to feel that being interested in the cosmos needs a justification is truly puzzling.
