The Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions Audio Archive Program 456: Scientists: On Top or On Tap? Harvey Wheeler argues that the social impact of the modern world’s intense scientific activity, as well as the rapidity with which the military-industrial complex seizes upon their discoveries, necessitates the “constitutionalization of science,” which would put science under democratic control to ensure it works for the benefit of mankind. The Center’s Neil Jacoby moderates a panel discussion in which Mr. Wheeler is joined by Helmut Krauch, Norman Peterson, and Lord Ritchie-Calder. Mar. 1, 1969.

During that time it brought together many of the most capable and distinguished minds of the times to discuss vital issues facing American society of the day. Thanks to donors Neal Linson, Ceil Pulitzer, and Stanley Sheinbaum, a project has begun to digitize and make accessible on the web some of the most important conference proceedings, talks, and dialogues recorded by CSDI.
