Bob Bienkowski's note about sources of funds, particularly the Council
for Tobacco Research, is interesting.  Here at the University of
Rochester our policy against classified research began shortly after
WW II ended and, except for some ongoing activities of the Manhatten
Project in the '50's, is strictly enforced.

We accept funds from the Council for Tobacco Research.  I think the
reality is that we all accept funds from most any sponsor
except when really pushed to the wall on an issue such as classified
research.  Frankly, it really is an academic decision.

So, we'll continue to line up at the trough......
