The US is home to only 3 of the top 25 universities globally in research impact (#3, #20, and #23).
In 2009, we were home to 15 out of 25, including the #1 spot.
It would be the unforced error of the century to scale back on our national investment in science now.

The Fan 1949 Otto Preminger. Widely panned but is awesome. Oscar Wilde story, Dorothy Parker screen credit, cast of Carroll, Sanders, Crain, Greene is exceptional. Like Ophuls’ earrings or a Sirk.
