  • A History of the Department of Defense Federally Funded Research and Development Centers
    A History of the Department of Defense Federally Funded Research and Development Centers June 1995 OTA-BP-ISS-157 GPO stock #052-003-01420-3 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, A History of the Department of Defense Federally Funded Research and Development Centers, OTA-BP-ISS-157 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, June 1995). oreword he 104th Congress, like its recent predecessors, is grappling with the role of modeling and simulation in defense planning, acquisition, and training, a role that current and contemplated technological develop- ments will intensify. The Department of Defense (DoD) Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), some closely tied to defense modeling and simulation, are also a topic of recurrent congressional concern owing to their unique institutional status. The 104th’s emphasis on pri- vate sector solutions suggests that this Congress in particular will seek to ad- dress the FFRDCs. This Office of Technology Assessment Background Paper has been prepared to help Congress do so. The DoD FFRDCs trace their lineage to ad hoc, not-for-profit, university- based organizations created during World War II to address specific technolog- ical problems. Some performed studies and analyses on topics such as anti- submarine warfare, but the majority were laboratories engaged in the development of radar, the proximity fuze, and other war-winning weapons in- cluding nuclear weapons. These centers proved useful in bridging the orga- nizational, compensation-related, and cultural gaps between science and the military, and more were created during the Cold War. The laboratories contin- ued to predominate in some respects, but centers devoted to study and analysis grew and entered the public consciousness as “think tanks,” and other centers embarked upon a new role—system integration.

  • The Firm's History
    McCANDLISH LILLARD: THE FIRM’S HISTORY A Century of Looking Forward McCandlish & Lillard traces its origins to 1908. Over the years, its lawyers have been involved in the growth of the town of Fairfax and in Northern Virginia generally, not only from a legal perspective, but in a wide variety of legal, civic and professional endeavors. Throughout the firm’s history, McCandlish lawyers have dedicated themselves to anticipating tomorrow’s legal challenges. Today, we view ourselves as part of a complex and ever-changing world economy. What began in 1908 as one man’s practice in a very small town called Fairfax, has become a firm of twenty- five lawyers. From the three-line telephone that some never mastered, we have progressed to the use of voice mail, e-mail, smartphones, tablet computers, and social media to conduct business. Despite these changes, and many of them have revolutionized the practice of law, the firm holds true to the spirit of its founders by adapting to the changing needs of clients and expanding its expertise in all areas where legal needs can be filled. Our history tells the story of a century of looking forward. 1 McCandlish Lillard: A Century of Looking Forward 1908 – 1930 F. D. RICHARDSON, ATTORNEY AT LAW 102 South Payne Street, Fairfax The firm McCandlish & Lillard, a professional corporation, actually began with the practice of a single lawyer, Frederick Dawson Richardson (“Fred” or “F. D.”) whose professional career commenced in the small town of Fairfax in 1908. F. D. Richardson was born in a farmhouse in Fairfax, located across from the Courthouse, and like his father before him, Fred was a lifelong Fairfax resident.

  • The Postwar Suburbanization of American Physics
    Suburbanization of Physics | 851 The Postwar Suburbanization of American Physics David Kaiser In class, status, and self-image, [the American intellectual] has become more solidly middle class, a man at a desk, married, with children, living in a respectable suburb. C. Wright Mills, White Collar, 19511 The Cold War University as City or Suburb? n his 1963 Godkin Lectures at Harvard on “The Uses of the University,” Clark Kerr, then chancellor of the burgeoning University of California, Iobserved that the faculty of the emergent cold war universities had be- come “affluent,” and that their “salaries and status have risen considerably.” Most telling of all, their roles and ways of life had changed palpably from the prewar days: “A professor’s life has become, it is said, ‘a rat race of business and activity, managing contracts and projects, guiding teams and assistants, boss- ing crews of technicians, making numerous trips, sitting on committees for government agencies, and engaging in other distractions necessary to keep the whole frenetic business from collapse.’” In short, Kerr concluded, the cold war university was neither a village nor a town, as older colleges and universi- ties had been modeled, but rather a city—he called it a “City of Intellect” and a “city of infinite variety”—full of distinct subcultures, complex economies of operation, and vast managerial infrastructures. Kerr celebrated the modern, urbanized university, “rat race” and all.2 Other commentators read a different lesson into these structural changes in American higher education. The cold war university was not a grand and ex- citing city, they contended, but rather the ultimate suburb—and, as such, hardly deserving of praise.
