It bears remembering that in the 60s and 70s Western civ was in rockier shape than it is today. Not only did it recover, but it moved to a higher quality of life. The people who made that possible ignored the turmoil while they beavered away at academic, corporate and government R&D. A tip of the hat to their contemporary counterparts. Thanks for this post.
