Computer companies, pharmaceutical firms, and engineering businesses are among the particular business groups which are skewing the activities of universities around the country. The effects of the Pentagon also come under examination. Soley relates many telling examples in this study which, to its credit, does not take the sensationalism of an expose, but rather presents a sobering, compelling case."]
