

would think it should have a high priority among
our concerns. But if we look at the reality, we see a
different picture. Basic scientific research is
minimized in favor of immediate practical
applications. The arts are increasingly seen as
dispensable luxuries. Yet as competition heats up
around the globe, exactly the opposite strategy is
needed.
