I wish to hell I did, and a quick stab at Google didn't help. It would have been in the early 70s and I might even still own the issue, but that part of the personal stack is in locked storage at the moment.
. ..or title of that story?
Pretty sure of the title, simply "FTL". It was only about 4 or 5 pages long, but it made quite the impression on me, which is, I'm sure, what Campbell had in mind when he published it. As I recall it was the author's first sale too.
Every now and again I'll bump into somebody else who remembers the story and was likewise impressed.
Classic short story published in Analog, lo, these many years ago.
FTL
It describes the meeting between a young hotshot applying for money to develop his surefire warp drive and the institute director who has to break the news to him that they've secretly had a functional warp drive for ages . . .
But c is slower in hyperspace.
Reading it as a youth woke me up to the fact that you have to be careful what you wish for, because you might not get it.
One size fits all Be you short or be you tall Be you wide or be you slim Be you her or be you him Now please, don't start to scream and yell We never said it would fit. . .
I do find it convenient to keep a little money in the bank and a single, low limit credit card for dealing with things like ordering out of print books through Amazon or getting a motel room. Just don't carry debt. A man who owns himself is rich.
And learn some skills that allow you to care of yourself. Spinning, weaving and knitting are a good start and rather meditative.
"The Criminal Investigation Division (CID) investigates the most significant and egregious violators of environmental laws. CID refers cases that pose significant risks to human health and the environment for criminal prosecutions. CID Special Agents are sworn federal law enforcement officers with full law enforcement authorities. Today, EPA CID has offices located in 16 Area Offices and 25 Resident Offices across the country. CID participates nationwide in over 90 environmental crime task forces with federal, state and local law enforcement partners."
Yes, I should have said "more like," or just posted a reference as the more perspicacious did. They really have no exact American equivilent. Who woulda thunk that was possible. It's, well, unAmerican.
Nor are the FBI the only "Feds." So are the SS, the ATF, the EPA and a whole host of alphabet soup with various law enforcment jurisdictions, some of which are nominally under the military.

Two reasons, a)Hope (and this is the reason why ST became pointless and unrealistic after the introduction of Q) and b)Funding.
Never underestimate the power of seeking funding.

I'd wonder how some of his future patients would feel about his comments.
I'd wager that the majority of them would agree with him wholeheartedly.

He should tell them to piss off now and find another school.
Yeah, that's pretty much my instinctual response.
And unnamed adminstrator is obviously a cockmaster of a dean.

They are not interested in reaching it. They are interested in crushing it and absorbing it.

. . .audits show they arent really making things all that much safer.
Well, D'oh. They really can't you know?
The only real, practical affect they can have is to put as at considerably more danger from them.
Now be a good boy, take off your shoes, drop your pants and spread your checks, for your own safety.

Don't trust reporters just because they actually "see" news as it happens.
I saw it too. Sometimes I was the subject of it.
I agree with your post. Don't trust them.
Instead, trust something written anonymously on the Internet.
But here we must part ways.
Your post is a great example of the overall decline in the quality of the human gene pool, and society as a whole.
Ahhhhhhhhh, the irony.
