When the University of California regents set out last year to pick a replacement for retiring President Robert Gordon Sproul, they polled the nation's top educators for opinions, got a nearly unanimous consensus: "You already have Clark Kerr at Berkeley.'' This month, slight, balding Labor Economist Kerr, Berkeley's chancellor since 1952, took over the presidency. He found himself saddle-high on a job that is probably the biggest in U.S. education, and is destined to grow a lot bigger. Today California has eight campuses and 42,114 students (the country's second largest...
...Berkeley. With 18,981 students registered last fall and a solid ranking among the top schools in the U.S., Berkeley is the biggest and juiciest chunk of the California orange. Berkeley's trees have had time to grow, and its faculty, mature and luminous, includes six Nobel laureates (among them: Radiation Laboratory Physicists Ernest Lawrence and Edwin McMillan, Chemist Glenn Seaborg). Partisans compare Berkeley, not always defensively, with Harvard, fairly assess their school as stronger in the physical sciences, less impressive in the humanities...

...machinery-manufacturing business since 1860, when grandfather John McCone started an iron foundry in Virginia City, Nev. His father opened branch plants in Reno, Los Angeles and San Francisco, where John Alex McCone was born Jan. 4, 1902. He studied engineering at the University of California, at Berkeley (B.S., '22), took his first job that year as a riveter and boilermaker with Los Angeles' Llewellyn Iron Works...
...flank speed in vast areas of science, and of all programs put through for the International Geophysical Year, its is the biggest and most ambitious. The Soviet Union has the largest (10 billion synchrocyclotron volts) particle accelerator in the world-nearly twice as powerful as the one at Berkeley, Calif., though it has not yet lived up to its expensive expectations. Russia put its first pure-jet airliner into operation two years and more before the U.S., and M.I.T. Physicist Jerome B. Wiesner, who helped develop some of the advanced radar for the DEW line, has warned that Russia...
