Mission impossible?


AS Chief Executive of the Science Council, Diana Garnham (6's 66-71) must try¹ to achieve harmony among a "naturally factitious² bunch of prima donnas" - or so her interviewer puts it.



Conscientious scientific footnotes

¹ With the aid of her
PA, Tamasin Barnbrook, who could well be the Old Blue (Ba B, LHA 87-94) of that name.

² Factitious means "produced artificially rather than by a natural process". Probably the writer means factious: "given to faction; dissentious".
