Thanks, Marie. I'd also recommend:
Hunt, M. M., (1999). The new know-nothings : The political foes of the
scientific study of human nature . New Brunswick, NJ: Transaction Publishers.
Although now a bit dated, the threats to science in this book - from both
the extreme political left and political right - are still very much with us.
And many of the topical debates (e.g., sex research, effects of day care on
child development) are still timely.

The Master in the Art of Living makes little distinction between his work and
his play,
his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his
recreation,
his love and his intellectual passions. He hardly knows which is which.
He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does,
leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.
To him - he is always doing both.

Subject: RE:[tips] Science and Politics
In my senior seminar class I have a week (next week) on science and politics.
I've assigned (our own) Lilienfeld's excellent article on the Rind et al
debacle and the APA's response (refs below).
I'd like to draw on other cases on when (psychological) science and politics
collide. Do any of you have suggestions for videos, readings, or websites about
other examples. For example, there are current politicians who keep websites of
"studies that shouldn't funded because they seem stupid to me"? Any leads on
that? Any sources for which controversial topics (on gays, drugs, etc.) are
currently difficult to get federal funding for? Etc.
