"There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power of the atom," ... Robert Milken, Nobel Prize winner in physics, 1923

Well, in spite of his frequent stubbornness to the point of being short-sighted, and his sloppy note-taking which has caused many to (unjustly) cast doubts on his ethics, Millikan is still one of my heroes. A great scientist, a great educator, and a great conservative whose political ideas deserve to be resurrected and re-appraised.
