While a lab Director can get done the things that he regards as important, he has the more important job of bringing out the best ideas of the broader scientific community. - Burton Richter Quotes

Getting enough energy to satisfy the needs of the developing world without bringing on an eco-disaster is not going to be easy. It will require a marriage of science and technology with good international policy, something that is always hard to bring off. We need to get it right this time. - Burton Richter Quotes

I succumbed to temptation and became a scientific administrator, first as Technical Director of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center from 1982 to 1984, and then Director from 1984 to 1999.
