Americans Give Billions to Philanthropy Yet Face Funding Problems
Americans gave about 6 percent of all taxed income to philanthropy last year, supporting over 300000 institutions. Religion received about half, with education health and welfare also large.

Experts note motives range from genuine aid to tax benefits and social pressure. Dr Ernest Diether warns giving can be a way to play God by both giving and withholding.

Translation and Summarization of US Scientific Periodicals
It notes that about 1200 of 1800 scientific and technical journals are translated and summarized by a centralized US system. The piece argues this method, though perhaps wasteful and less refined, still produces ready access to world scientific literature for researchers and reflects the idea that one scientist’s work serves another.
