...Cambridge Project can be seen as a serendipitous harmony of interests: the DOD needs the methods, the academics need funds for research they find intrinsically interesting. Probably many of the professors involved are not concerned with the DOD's use of their techniques. They would justify their work as pure research for the advancement of science with openly available results for anyone to use. The Cambridge Project as go-between helps them ignore the implications of the DOD funding. "Money is cleansed when it changes hands," a common rationalization goes.

...neighborhood association should be able to assemble information to support its arguments about a new highway," the Project's first Annual Report argues in good liberal fashion.

Sir James views it all with the sanguine air of a man who started as the operator of a chain of movie theaters in London's Hammersmith area (the source of the name Hammer). His Spanish-born father established the chain...
