Possible Challenge To Soviet Policies

Famous quotes containing the words challenge, soviet and/or policies:

    He’s indestructible. Frankenstein’s creation is man’s challenge to the laws of life and death.
    Edward T. Lowe, and Erle C. Kenton. Dr. Edelman (Onslow Stevens)

    Nothing an interested foreigner may have to say about the Soviet Union today can compare with the scorn and fury of those who inhabit the ruin of a dream.
    Christopher Hope (b. 1944)

    Give a scientist a problem and he will probably provide a solution; historians and sociologists, by contrast, can offer only opinions. Ask a dozen chemists the composition of an organic compound such as methane, and within a short time all twelve will have come up with the same solution of CH4. Ask, however, a dozen economists or sociologists to provide policies to reduce unemployment or the level of crime and twelve widely differing opinions are likely to be offered.
    Derek Gjertsen, British scientist, author. Science and Philosophy: Past and Present, ch. 3, Penguin (1989)
