The National Academies just released a new report, ?Rising Above the Gathering Storm, Revisited: Rapidly Approaching Category 5,? which isn't really new at all: its authors are the same people who wrote the 2005?publication ?Rising Above the Gathering Storm? and its conclusions are just as gloomy as those of its predecessor. Among the latest report's reported facts is that??The world's largest airport is now in China.? I bet the world's largest pothole is in China, too. Here's another bit of doom-and-gloom trivia: ?The United States graduates more visual arts and performing arts majors than engineers.? Oh no! We're done for!
