Abstract
During the West German Bundestag election campaign of 1976, the Christian Democratic Union issued an advertisement, one of a series, consisting of a photograph of a boffin-type scientist considering the question: “Warum CDU wählen” (“why vote CDU”), and below the photograph his answer:
... weil wir unsere Zukunft nur mit einer ideologiefreien Wissenschaft bewältigen (Der Spiegel, 13.9.1976, p. 61). (... because we can only handle our future with science free from ideology.)
