He never gave a reason? Does anybody know anything more?

  From an internal e-mail ('someone'@smd.nasa.gov): "Today Alan Stern announced that he had resigned his position as AA. In his talk to the Science Mission Directorate he said that the management issues were about cost control and that he did not see a way for him to do what needs to be done. He didn't go into details. Evidently there are extremely strong opinions about all this. ... Staff reaction to the resignation was I think a bit of a shock and a great sense of loss. Alan brought a breath of fresh air and a new spirit to the organization that was a lot of fun for me to share." I pinched that from http://www.nasawatch.com/ http://www.nasawatch.com/ , where this and a few other touchy topics are discussed as they unfold.
