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}. 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 Humanities 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. \end{quote}
