"Yes it was ! Your little society has blocked out that memory because it was so embarrassing. That wasn’t the half of it. Next year they had a major brawl with the Buna residents, regular town-gown riots.... And it really hit the fan during the economic war. There were federal witch-hunts for foreign science spies, there was hyperinflation and lab guys living on bread crusts.... See, I’m not a scientist like you. I don’t have to take it on faith that science is always a noble endeavor. I actually look these things up."
