Abstract
I would like to acknowledge the contribution of one of my predecessors, D. Allan Bromley, advisor to President George H.W. Bush, and a friend. Allan died of a heart attack last week at Yale, where he had continued to lecture long after many of the rest of us would have retired completely. Allan enjoyed his role as a science advocate, and spoke fearlessly on behalf of science and its needs. I think he reflected accurately the feelings of many scientists, and won their admiration for his defense of basic research.
