 What is not true about Dr. Melrose?
BRAMBLE BUSH BY ALAN E. NOURSE "He's gone completely hay-wire. Nobody's been able to get near him for three weeks, and now at six o'clock this morning he decides he's leaving the Farm. As director of psionic research at the Hoffman Medical Center, he had long since learned how administrative detail could suck up daytime hours. And now, as the book approached publication date, Lessing wondered if he would ever really get back to work again. It bore the letterhead of the International Psionics Conference: Dear Dr. Lessing: "A Theory of Psionic Influence on Infant and Child Development." And they would find it a light shining brightly in the darkness, a guide to the men who were floundering in the jungle of a strange and baffling new science. When they were finally forced to recognize that this great and powerful force did indeed exist in human minds, with unimaginable potential if it could only be unlocked, they had plunged eagerly into the search, and found themselves in a maddening bramble bush of contradictions and chaos. They were trying to study phenomena which made no sense, observing things that defied logic. Natural laws came crashing down about their ears as they stood sadly by and watched things happen which natural law said could never happen. And the more they struggled, the thicker and more impenetrable the bramble bush became— But now David Lessing had discovered a pathway through that jungle, a theory to work by— At his elbow the intercom buzzed. "A Dr. Melrose. Dr. Peter Melrose was tall and thin, with jet black hair and dark mocking eyes. "Dr. Melrose, I don't quite understand—" "Oh, it's just that I'm impressed," the young man said airily. "I think you'd better wait before you do that," Melrose said sharply, "because I'm planning to take you apart at the Conference next month unless I like everything I see and hear down here today. "I want to hear this fairy tale you're about to publish in the name of 'Theory'," Melrose said. "I want to see this famous Farm of yours up in Connecticut and see for myself how much pressure these experimental controls you keep talking about will actually bear. "As for our 'fairy tale', we happen to have a staggering body of evidence that says that it's true." "If the papers you've already published are a preview, we think it's false as Satan."
