"...I believe we must take special concern to protect and nurture
small science...because large projects tend to develop political
constituencies very easily and can quickly overwhelm the system."
(James Watkins, APS/AAPT meeting, 21 April 1992, printed in _Physics
and Society_, July 1992, p7ff, the quote is frompage 8.)

I must say I agree with Secretary Watkins.
