...sorry, but we don't have any openings for a Government major," was a typical reply from a recruiter of a leading high-tech firm, Sanders Association
...OPPOSING SCHOOLS of American military planners used to argue fiercely about how the Department of Defense should spend its non-nuclear dollars. Some innovators favored buying expensive, high-technology electronic weapons, while traditionalists insisted on simply having more tanks, planes and missiles than anybody else. This summer, the high-tech side triumphed, and their victory will have a dramatic economic impact--especially on the poor...

It consists of a kneepad connected by steel tubes to a padded seat, all of which is supposed to relieve pressure on the spine. It is, instead, a pain in the eyes...
