Thank you for your insightful editorial, ”Nothing ventured

. . . ” regarding Evanston`s opportunity, in conjunction with Northwestern University, for developing a high-tech center in this forward-looking city.

At a time when many states, cities and towns are searching for ways and means to uplift their economies, it would be a shame if Evanston decided to forgo the downtown research park under consideration.

However, some Evanstonians, expressing their wariness of the ”arms race,” intended more than a ”symbolic gesture” when the declaration of

”nuclear free zone” was elicited, and would now squelch this chance for continuing Evanston`s reputation as a progressive city.
