...perception. Dr. Kerr most certainly did not "lose his cool" during the 1964 demonstrations at Berkeley, nor has he since. If anything, he lost the deserved, rational support of the news media and moderate public in California, who were willing to allow the hue and cry of a few brief, sophomoric disturbances to obscure the significant miracle of Berkeley's steady rise to first place among the nation's-and probably the world's-graduate schools...

He came up through a brief career as a barnstorming pilot and, after that, as a project engineer at the Glenn L. Martin Co., then started his own plant at the St. Louis airport with $165,000 in savings and money borrowed from, among others, Laurance Rockefeller. Gaining experience and financial strength as a subcontractor on such planes as the DC-3, McDonnell eventually designed and built his own, convinced the Navy that it could fly faster and perform...
