Letter of The Day

i had to weigh three letters today, and picked this one as the best. the url provides a link to the other two. all three are from iowa (surprise surprise)

Regarding "A Call to Action on Science" (Oct. 17 editorial): I do basic research in physics and lately have trouble finding university funds to support even one physics student doing novel research. Our country spends nearly $1 billion per day fighting wars, equivalent to throwing away all three state universities every day.

-John Hauptman, Ames.
