Should be retitled "Europe Pulls Way Ahead of U.S. in Expenditures on Particle Physics". Or "The Albatross is Passed to Europe". I wish Europe all possible success in nailing down the thirteenth significant digit of the electron's Lande g-factor. May string theorists ("B Ship") flock to Europe, abandoning the U.S. in droves, so that those few remaining physicists can get some useful work done with their ever-dwindling government grants.
