We are fortunate in having two different kinds of scientists. Among them are the basic
scientists 1 have curiosity as their impelling motive, who report their findings and 2 not
bother to follow the long road 3 useful applications of their discoveries. When a research is
carried as 4 as they desire, they return to their 5 and work on other pioneering
problems in which they are 6 , and again they feed their results into 7 world’s pool of
scientific knowledge. Such 8 predominate in academic laboratories.
9 type of scientist, found largely in industrial laboratories, is interested in science 10
applied in technology. These scientists try to adapt the results of pure 11 to human needs
and to solve specific 12 in order to improve products or increase efficiencies of manufacturing.

regarding it as an unworkable 6 of the idealistic, the impractical, and the 7 . But New
Yorkers themselves are in training in how to live 8 in a diversity of races --- the necessary

The 10 gives endless color to the city, so that walking in it is a 11 education in
sights and smells. There is a wonderful 12 of places to eat or shop, and though the most
successful of 13 places are likely to be touristy hybrid 14 , they too have genuine roots.
Other American cities have ethnic 15 jealously defended, but 16 , I think, such an
admixture of groups, thrown together in such jarring 17 . In the same way, avenues of
high-rise luxury in New York are 18 far from poverty and 19 streets. The sadness and
