Obituary: George Brown (1920-99)
Daniel S. Greenberg
'Statesman of science' and 'Mr Science' were the honorifics often applied to George Brown, the Democrat congressman from California who died on 16 July, at the age of 79, following heart surgery. But neither of the titles, nor the official positions he held in the House of Representatives, conveyed the special role that the bear-like, cigar-chewing Brown long occupied in Washington science politics.
- Daniel S. Greenberg is at 3736 Kanawha Street NW, Washington DC 20015, USA. He is author of The Politics of Pure Science, a new edition of which is published next month by the University of Chicago Press.
