This history of the growth of government-funded science in the United States since World War II reveals the accomplishments and disappointments that grew out of the potent and fruitful alliance between science and government: from the Manhattan Project to the first Apollo mission, from the Atomic Energy Commission's "Atoms for Peace" initiative to the bungled Superconducting Super Collider project.
