[QUOTE]
"There's a direct translation between engineering in sciences and math,
and GDP. We're a country of innovation and technology and if we don't
continue to invest as the rest of the world ramps up dramatically, we'll
see a double whammy: we're decreasing in focus and they're increasing in
focus, and that has nothing to do with the raw economics of it."
--Jeffrey M. Nick
