Our next-door neighbour taught physics at Hampton University. Our church abounded with mathematicians. Supersonics experts held leadership positions in my mother's sorority, and electrical engineers sat on the board of my parents' college alumni associations.

Many citizens see all the leadership of these large institutions together in a conspiracy against them rather than in any adversary relationship with each other.
