I hear that February 2008 issue of SciAm contains a special report.
Peter Woit has some comment.
I'm gradually finding the links to it, piecemeal.
If anyone finds links to some other main articles in the report "The Future of Physics"
please share them with us. Or, if you want, give us some sample exerpts.

here is something:
