ABSTRACT
The decade of the 60s was a mixture of the good, the bad, and the nonsense. The unpopularity of the American war in Viet Nam spread rapidly across campuses, into the streets, and beyond borders. The misconceived association of science with the war initiated an antiscience wave that propagated with unprecedented speed into all strata of human population, including the academia. The antidote of science very naturally emerged as the folklore and tradition of the very peoples at which the atrocities of the war were aimed.
