>information technologies and policy.  Our goal is to surface issues for

>role of public funding for basic research.  Our contributors include:
>
>Charles M. Herzfeld, "The ARPA Way:  Managing Research in the Next Century"
>Erich Bloch and Jerry Sheehan, "Federal IT Funding:  Creating an
>Infrastructure, Growing an Industry"
>Peter J. Denning, "Our Seed Corn is Growing in the Commons"
>Robert M. Metcalfe, "Who Will Set Research Priorities?"
>Alex Roland, "Faith and Reason"
>Irving Wladawsky-Berger, "Funding the Future"
>
>In addition, we offer you updates of actions on Capitol Hill; news compiled
>by ITAA; pointers to sites on the web with information on funding, Y2K,
>intellectual property, and education; and a calendar of upcoming events.
>
