Strauss and Murray, both brilliant, articulate, strong-willed men, have repeatedly clashed head-on over such issues as 1) the Dixon-Yates contract, which Murray opposed (with Strauss ultimately backing down), 2) Murray's proposal to ban superbomb tests, 3) Murray's contention that the AEC's atomic-power program will languish unless the Government builds commercial-scale power plants to show private industry the way.

Ramo spends most of his time on missile work while Wooldridge handles the rest, but both decide company policy. So well tuned are the two, says one R-W executive, "that they seem almost twins. Working together, they are not the equivalent of two men, but something a little closer...
