      When Secretary Schultz went back to Stanford to teach he was interviewed by the student newspaper. The interviewer asked: Mr Secretary, now that you have been in Goverment, Academia and private industry what would you say is the biggest difference between all three.....the Secretary pondered the question for a while and then said: In private industry, when you ask someone to do something you should be very clear and specific because is highly likely he'll do it.

      I don't buy his argument that political and economic openness must go together. They don't here. Or if you don't believe that, then let me say that our government and business are about as intertwined as any ever were. Just look as Fannie and Freddie, the drug industry, telecommunications, and a number of others. I agree, of course, that we have to pay more attention to the physical, as opposed to the fiscal, side of things. But the Reagan admin, like LBJ, spent on the guns without cutting the butter, ran up a deficit, bringing about a stock mkt crash, and was not at all wise, tho it needs to be said that the majority of R & D spending of all sorts is in the DoD budget. And to give credit where it is due, Volcker was appointed by Carter. There is little incentive, BTW, for commercial interests to research non-patentable drugs, which includes most natural compounds, and they have often fought to exclude them from sale when in conflict with their patents, something that needs to be addressed, tho not by allowing patents for the substance itself, perhaps the application. I really doubt, incidentally, that Reagan could have ever made me laugh.
