If going from 23,300 to 24,550 is a decline, then our problems with
innumeracy are much more serious than I thought! Or is our problem
with proof-reading and fact-checking in journalism?

James Foley is worried.
As chairman of the Computing Research Association--a group made up
of academic departments, research centers and professional
societies--his job at CRA is to improve computing research and
education. But Foley sees troubling trends in the nation's system for
nurturing and training new information technology scientists.

Q: The number of science and engineering Ph.D.s awarded in the
United States has been falling, from 23,300 in 1998 down to 24,550 in
2002. How big a deal is that decline?
