Said Joe: "Roy thinks he has resigned [as chief counsel for McCarthy's permanent investigating subcommittee], but I want to tell Roy Cohn he has not and cannot ever resign . . . I intend to draw on the knowledge and background he has in Communism. The most brilliant young man I've ever known is always going to be available, and called upon very, very often for help and advice." It was nearly midnight, and the room was heavy with eye-stinging smoke when Rabbi Schultz rose to introduce the Junior Hero. Said Schultz: "The plain people know the loss...

He rapidly built up a native clergy, which kept the church strong during periods of persecution under unfriendly monarchs...

The credit goes to Boeing's brilliant corps of engineers and to Bill Allen, the dry, deceptively plain lawyer who became Boeing's president (and custodian of the cactus) in 1945. Allen is the man who gave the final go-ahead for Boeing to spend $20 million on the 707, gambling that he could sell it to the Air Force and the airlines. With Air Force orders in the offing, Bill Allen...
