eisenhower

Read this farewell speechby Dwight Eisenhower

Stunning, considering the fact that he was a military guy himself and a two term republican. His comments about the military industrial complex and research are thought provoking. His prediction of the creation of a dependency of free universities on federal money is bang on. Given that none of us know of a different world, one can only wonder what research might have been like otherwise.
