Abstract
Two items are reproduced herein: my `Outlook' talk, an amended version of which was presented at the 1991 joint Lepton--Photon and EPS Conference in Geneva, and an Open Letter addressed to HEPAP. One is addressed primarily to the European high--energy physics community, the other to the American. A common theme of these presentations is a plea for the rational allocation of the limited funds society provides for high--energy physics research. If my `loose cannon' remarks may seem irresponsible to some of my colleagues, my silence would be more so.
