title: Primate research and "psychological well-being".
abstract: In Mark Crawford's News & Comment article "Superconductor funds flat" (4 Mar., p. 1089), Robert J. Birgeneau was reported to have had his grant cut to $4.4 million. That National Science Foundation grant actually covers the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Materials Research Laboratory and supports 40 faculty members. Birgeneau's personal grant was reduced from $125,000 in 1987 to $122,000 for this year.
