EDUCATION
Second only to a weapon of mass destruction detonating in an American city, we can think of nothing more dangerous than a failure to manage properly science, technology, and education for the common good over the next quarter century.” This was the prescient conclusion of the 2001 Hart-Rudman Report (www.senate.gov/~govt-aff/032901_Excerpts.pdf), which gained much more visibility after September 11 of that year, owing to its accurate prediction that a terrorist attack would soon occur on the U.S. homeland. However, reports concerning U.S. difficulty cultivating science and engineering talent are plentiful, extending back at least 20 years and continuing to this day.
