Some scientists, however, have opposed the idea, fearing that basic research would face the unhappy prospect of sharing its portion of the budget with another agency. This fear, however, is becoming a moot point as technology research is headed toward siphoning off a good share of the funding through newly evolving programs such as RAIN, it might be more satisfying in the long run for basic research to stake out its territory now and assure itself a solid proportion before it all dwindles away...
...council's optimism contrasted starkly with the expectations of four years ago, when members met before the 1980 elections. Then, high interest rates, double-digit inflation and the prospect of another oil-supply crisis caused by the outbreak of war between Iran and Iraq had business leaders worried.

That prospect is unthinkable for a free-spending Government that even by optimistic Administration projections will chalk up a deficit of $166.9 billion in fiscal 1985, which began...
Here at last is the whole book (albeit unfinished), its disparate parts meticulously edited and annotated by Professor Lindeth Vasey of the University of Texas at Austin. The prospect of new words from their master has already excited legions of Lawrencians. It will not matter to them that Mr. Noon is not very good...
