{The Seamless Web}[8th November 1970]

            Society is so complicated; it is a great amalgam, an intricate web of tiny details and petty pressures.  There is a great need of some people with a capacity to understand something of all these forces.  No science is well-defined at its borders, but the social sciences simply have no limits: they merge, one into the other, in a fascinating and terrifying way.  Men set up artificial boundaries to aid their own understanding, but let it be clearly understood that such boundaries are merely a scholar's device.  Man relies on them at his peril.
