He promises a first-class report: "We're not going to settle for nickel-and-diming." Most other task-force members are keen-minded generalists in the Schlesinger mold, more schooled in problem solving than in energy...
...colleges can change to meet the needs of modern women, who can choose between coeducation and single-sex schools.

They have examined the role of the Catholic church in Latin American society. Their reports include countless mathematical models for efficient allocation of resources. Rand physicists have even stepped back to a cosmic perspective and scanned the whole globe to find "The Exact Solution for the Propagation of Electromagnetic Pulses over a Highly Conducting Spherical Earth...
