Journal/Book: Scientist. 1996; 10: 3600 Market St, Suite 450, Philadelphia, PA 19104. Scientist Inc. 9.

Abstract: FACT IS FACT: Postmodernist rhetoric that claims there is no such thing as ''fact'' and that all observations are the product of political, cultural, social, and religious influences is fine in literary criticism; however, such philosophies do not apply to scientific pursuits, contends.
