在二十世纪——即“美国世纪”——没有哪位远见卓识者能比 Vannevar Bush 更具影响力。作为发起曼哈顿计划、协助建立军工复合体、构想政府资助科学工程的永久体系，并预见了个人电脑与互联网的发明家兼公共企业家，Bush 堪称我们这个时代的本杰明·富兰克林转世。从世纪之交在马萨诸塞州父亲地下室里捣鼓小发明的少年时期起步，Bush 后来前往塔夫茨大学和麻省理工学院攻读并任教电气工程学。作为早期的学术创业

……有篇专门讲这事的文章，尤其是1990年的那篇报道。https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-05-24-fi-444-st... 顺便说一句，我真心推荐读读目前唯一一本瓦内瓦尔的传记《Endless Frontier》，作者和楼主文章是同一个人，G Pascal Zachary。写得相当棒。这个传主其实完全值得多出几本传记，就像历史上许多其他关键人物也都有多部传记一样……
…article that speaks to that, notably writing from 1990. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-05-24-fi-444-st... By the way, I do recommend reading what remains the only biography of Vannevar, "Endless Frontier", written by the same author as OP's article, G Pascal Zachary. It is quite good. The subject probably merits multiple biographies just as many other pivotal people in history also have multiple biographies…
……他在时间点上的预测简直神准。在当时那可是个极其大胆的预言。对我影响最深的是他关于太空开发的专栏（《A Step Farther Out》，还有两本文集《The Endless Frontier》）。具体写了什么我记不太清了，但里面有一种以战略方式发展技术文明的 can-do 精神，感觉比起现在发生的任何事，它更契合60年代的调调……
…he was right on the money on the timing. That was an audacious prediction back then. He influenced me the most by his columns on space development (A Step Farther Out, and a couple of anthologies The Endless Frontier). I don't clearly remember what was in them, but there was a kind of can-do attitude about developing technological civilization in a strategic way that seems more in tune with the 60s than anything happening…

……在二战期间统筹美国的科研工作，战后还对建立我们今天这套现代大学科研体系起到了关键作用。核心论点就是科研乃“无尽的前沿/Endless Frontier”（这也是那本写他的书名的由来）。像国家科学基金会（NSF）和 DARPA 都是这套契约的一部分，即联邦政府资助研究型大学去搞基础……
…organize the American scientific effort during World War 2, and afterward was instrumental in setting up the modern university research system we have today. The main argument was that research was the "Endless Frontier" (hence the name of the book about him). Things like the National Science Foundation and DARPA are part of this compact, that the Federal government would fund research universities to do fundamental…
