| Summary/Abstract |
The worlds of intelligence, the military, and academe reflect very different, at times conflicting, cultures, ethical norms, and priorities. This examination assesses the evolution of the sometimes fractious relationship between scholars and government military and intelligence officials, disputes among them, and cases of convergence and critical collaboration.To be effective in policy and decision making, the U.S. government needs the best information and thinking it can obtain. Much of that expertise resides in academia. For their part, social scientists and members of the healing professions, in particular, must be attentive to the moral, intellectual, and ethical dictates of their professions when participating in support of government employment of coercive military force and extraordinary means of intelligence acquisition. Finding the appropriate balance between helping safeguard national security and upholding the tenets of professional integrity is a joint task of soldiers, scholars, and spies.

| Summary/Abstract |
Prediction, even of tomorrow's weather, remains a decidedly inexact science, but forecasting strategic geo-political or economic change is vastly more challenging. The Old Farmers’ Almanac has been in continuous publication in the United States since 1792, predicting long-term weather patterns and phases of the moon, among other things. But in 1942 the U.S. government sought to ban its publication after a German spy with a copy of the Almanac was apprehended. Suspicions centered on what the German might have found of intelligence value in this household volume, with special concern focused on “weather forecasts.” Confronted with a potential wartime ban on its publication, the Almanac relabeled that section “weather indications,” and the threatened ban was vacated. 2 The Almanac's “prediction” had nothing to do with warfare and everything to do with when to plant crops and gardens.
