Improvements In Medicine: A synergistic "breakthrough" may actually be composed of many layers of interrelated synergisms, each important in its own right. Some will provide new or improved methods of basic scientific research, which in turn will lead perhaps to truly unpredictable serendipitous innovations. A most important example may be the synergism of lasers, holography, and computers—a combination that would permit improved spectro-scopic and three-dimensional examination of complex molecules and proteins. The resulting advances in biochemistry, chemistry, and molecular genetics could bring far-reaching improvements in medicine, as well as revolutionary advances in the control of heredity.

Where current revenues do not provide sufficient funds for urgently needed road improvements, borrowing is justified. It is generally held that highway debt should be repaid within the life of the improvements made. Highway surfaces wear out and must be replaced, but grading has permanent value and drainage structures last for a long time. When a surface is worn out, it still has value as a base for a new surface. One third or more of the cost of a new highway may be for improvements that will be of value for many years after the original surface is replaced. |
