However, before the ink was dry on the paper a French judge dismissed the complaint, said Ludwig between laughs during a recent interview. Ludwig found himself engaged in a continued battle for advertising for his book, losing contracts without notice while the same publications continued to stuff their pages with spreads for cosmological volumes of pornography. This has always been a curious, but consistent, hypocrisy. Another consideration the mainstream journals must deal with is that if they were to suddenly and unilaterally control pornographic advertising, the loss in revenue would cause some of them to fail. In the end, it's always been a money thing.
Pornographers have it.
Mark Ludwig is only one account. Once I was a scientist of scientists. Born in the age of Sputnik, and raised in the home of a chemist, I was enthralled with science as a child. If I wasn't dissolving pennies in acid, I was winding an electromagnet, or playing with a power transistor, or . . . When I went to MIT for college I finally got my chance to totally immerse myself in my first love.
