Fresh news of more than $20 billion for science and technology in the stimulus package threatened to cause levitation of the hotel. Was it true that the House-Senate conference resulted in more money for research than either chamber had approved separately? Visions of new laboratories crowded with graduate students danced in the eyes of the crowd.
