This post reminds me of the fertile mind of Gary Larson who produced a Far Side cartoon depicting a gang of "ruffian astronomers" or some such who monopolized all the time spent looking through the only available telescope by intimidating milder comrades. Humor succeeds when the essence is true and people who are trying to research this disease can obviously relate to what was humorously portrayed. Human nature doesn't change just because the people in question are highly educated and esteemed professionals (probably it is magnified). The power recently wielded by Frances and Fauci as the NIH and NAIAD heads because of their bottleneck control of almost ALL research funding is ruinous; both to their character and our institutions. This juxtaposes the brilliance of the checks and balances once capable of keeping our governance on track, and parallels what happens when those systems get short-circuited.
