I have gotten the distinct impression from varying sources (mostly APS
publications and at the personal anecdotal level) that society has more or
less decided that we have enough physicists.  Industry isn't exactly
clamoring at the doors of higher education pleading for us to produce more
physicists for them to hire.  In counter-example to requests for producing
JAVA ready bacculaureate graduates.
