...colleague. He had been accused, in Philadelphia's pages, of mishandling charitable funds and making homosexual advances to the Korean boys he was supposed to be helping. "A bunch of downright lies," said Miss Buck gamely, but Theodore Findley Harris, 38, had already resigned as president and executive director of the Pearl S. Buck Foundation...
Where the Brains Are. CTIP is McKee's European foothold and a sizable operator in its own right. The firm has orders on its books for refineries and petrochemical plants worth $100 million.
