...engineer and father of two engineers, I can tell you that careers in fields other than science and engineering provide more pay, more glamour, greater chances for promotion and require less study. We need to give engineers and scientists better pay, more respect, more room for creativity and a clear path for advancement...
Since France's elite counterterrorism forces uprooted networks of Algeria's extremist Armed Islamic Group (gia) who were responsible for the deadly bombing campaign that rocked Paris in the mid-'90s, they've earned added respect by successfully thwarting a score or more of major plots.

I witnessed the nearly immediate, if often subtle, transformation of Harvard during Summers’ tenure. The hostility he engendered in the Faculty affected opportunities for undergraduates almost immediately as some professors made swift exits.
