...Center was set up on an original Carnegie Corporation grant in 1948. The Corporation felt the U. S. needed more knowledge of Russia, and it picked Harvard because of the strong social relations department, Russian scholars such as professors Michael Karpovich and Wassily Leontieff, and anthropology leaders such as Clyde Kluckhohn, who had already applied anthropology to the study of Japan in the second world...
Though Kinsey now lists all 14 members of the institute staff as co-authors of "the female volume," the key men around him are three: Psychologist Wardell B. Pomeroy, 39, and Statistician Clyde E. Martin, 35 (who were credited as co-authors of the male volume), and Anthropologist Paul H. Gebhard, 36. These three, along with Kinsey, are the only men who know the hieroglyphic code used for taking down case histories (on 8½ by 11 in. sheets). From the code-marked sheets, one of Kinsey's three chief lieutenants transfers the data...
Tall, earnest Harold L. Hathorn, 30, came with his pretty blonde wife Clyde Marie and things really began to hum. The women of the church gave three dinners at which they raised $1,200 for the new building.

...anybody can find sensible answers for these puzzles, Sir John seems to be the man. Born in Greenock, on Scotland's Firth of Clyde, he "drifted into accountancy," probably because his father was in it. Sir William McLintock, head of Britain's famous Thomson, McLintock firm, soon drafted the "drifter" as his protégé, moved him rapidly up to a partner. During World War II, Morison ran the Ministry of Supply's financial affairs and served on the vital War Damage Commission, which decided how much should be paid to thousands of blitzed British property...
Nevertheless the House promptly approved a bill to increase the limit. But the Senate balked. More than five hours of briefing and pleading by Humphrey and Dodge changed few, if any, minds in the Senate Finance Committee. North Carolina's Clyde Hoey bluntly told Humphrey that, if the Administration had known on July 1 that an increase in the debt limit was necessary, it should have told Congress on July 2, not waited until the last minute. Senators were sore about the delay, especially since they suspected that the Administration had deliberately waited until appropriations bills were passed...
