...thinks he is? Greenewalt." Greenewalt went off to M.I.T. with no clear notion of what he wanted to be, settled on chemical engineering, but was better known for his eye for pretty girls than for his scholarship. With a B.S. from M.I.T. Greenewalt got a $120-a-month chemist's job at Du Pont, but was still aimless about his future. While watching vats on a graveyard shift at the old Wilmington research lab, he passed the time by practicing the clarinet, spent his off hours courting Margaretta du Pont (Irénée's daughter...

...Julius Rosenberg, 33, drummed on the counsel table; his wife, Mrs. Ethel Green-glass Rosenberg, indicted with them as a fellow conspirator, was the calmest.

It was as a tester and child psychologist, at the University of Iowa, that Stoddard made his first reputation. In 1942 he switched again, to administration. Before Illinois summoned him to the $20,000-a-year president's job, he was a dean at Iowa and, for four wartime years...
When Joyce found that the Germans were using soybean oil in paint, he built a soybean processing plant, used the oil himself and sold the meal to animal-feed manufacturers. To develop new soybean products, Joyce hired Dr. Percy Julian, a Negro chemist from DePauw University. The choice was good; Julian was the first to mass-produce sex hormones from soybeans successfully, gained further fame in World War II by developing a fire-fighting foam to smother gasoline and oil fires...
