Black will head a group of trustees which includes Gov. Endicott Peabody '40, Chief Justice Karl Warren, former Secretary of State Dean Acheson, Richard Cardinal Cushing, composer Samuel Barber, AFL-CIO president George Meany, Gen. Dougian MacArthur, and novelists John Hersey and John Steinback...

Rowe, 54, now a Washington law partner of Corcoran's and a longtime Johnson political adviser. Spanning the Truman and Kennedy administrations is Washington Lawyer Clark Clifford, 56, a peerless behind-the-scenes political troubleshooter who is as close to Johnson as he was to Truman...
