Neutral action does not exist. Refusal to decide who will use our resources, who will use us, is a decision in itself. One is reminded of Edward Teller's disclaimer of any responsibility for the purposes to which his research in nuclear physics might be put. Teller was fully aware of what those purposes were, just as the University is aware what Dow's purposes in recruiting Harvard seniors...
