My fellow of½cers, members of the Council and the Trust, the leaders of our research programs, and all those who work with us to ad- vance our goals are critical to our success. Thinkers and doers, working under no academic or political pressure and with no collective preconceptions, join forces to de- velop fresh approaches to dif½cult problems. Just as we cherish knowledge, we cherish all of you who value the Academy’s past and inspire its future. John S. Reed (Citigroup, retired) Louis W.
