Carroll's future is clouded by George Washington's past. The red brick campus near Foggy Bottom has 11,000 students, a fine medical school, a superb location three blocks from the White House. But under the 32-year reign of President Cloyd H. Marvin, who resigned last year, George Washington never really took fire. It looks and acts like a commuter college, and two-thirds of its faculty (648) work part time. "We have a good university," says Board Chairman Newell W. Ellison, "but it isn't what it ought...
Leader of the metal faction is John Challis, pioneer U.S. manufacturer of harpsichords, who learned his trade back in the '20s from the late famed English Instrument Maker Arnold Dolmetsch. In a shop at the rear of his huge, century-old brick house in Detroit, Challis constructs about twelve harpsichords a year (last week he was working on his 230th), grosses $30,000.

Hillerich Jr. "Bud" Hillerich, 49, is the president of Louisville's venerable (76 years) Hillerich & Bradsby Co. In its rickety red brick factory, H. & B. turns out 60% of all U.S. bats, including the famed Louisville Slugger, used by almost all big leaguers. This year the company will produce more than 4,000,000 bats, ranging from a $1.25 model for Little Leaguers to $4.60 copies of big league bats. Most of the bats are machine...
