\end{quote}  \begin{quote}  3d. An interdisciplinary subcommittee worked out an elaborate procedure for handling misadventure, adapted to each discipline and local conditions, with protections, due process, and consideration for both individual and institutional rights and sensitivities. There was even a flow chart of decision points. When the first severe ethical crisis occurred an ad hoc committee was used to avoid the carefully designed process approved by vote of the entire organization. Some readers might enjoy C.P. Snow's \emph{Strangers and Brothers} a series of novels noted for Lord Snow's descriptions of "man in committee" as a literary theme. Lord Snow was a lawyer, scientist and civil servant monitoring science in WWII Great Britain, and also a novelist of realistic bent. \url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._P._Snow} \url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._P._Snow}. Has my mind wandered off here? Yes and No. Snow also was author of \emph{The Two Cultures} describing an unfortunate gap between the humanities and sciences. He finds those in the Huamaities lacking in basic understanding of the sciences and scientists likewise not comprehending the wisdom found in the Humanities. In this example is perhaps discovered a clash between the concern for due process, respect for others and for valued institutions and the urge to punish or be rid of vexing problems quickly.
