Greg Barnhisel gave a great talk at JHU last Thurs on Code Name Puritan: Norman Holmes Pearson at the Nexus of Poetry, Espionage, and American Power. There were shades of a requiem for the bygone age of multifarious collaboration between academia and the state.

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.
