...Wenzell played an ambiguous role as a consultant to the Budget Bureau in the early stages of Dixon-Yates, at a time when he was also a vice president of the First Boston Corp., which emerged as a Dixon-Yates financing agent. But First Boston had acted without fee, and there was no showing that Wenzell profited by his activities. Last week the probers made another discovery: White House Chief of Staff Sherman Adams had personally obtained a brief delay in the Securities and Exchange Commission's Dixon-Yates hearing in June, when the House was about to vote...
...angrily that he was not running "the Ford Foundation," and added: "Because I want to charge a lousy five bucks, people act as though I've torn up the tracks."

...young mountaineers have been able to get an education they would otherwise never have had. But the sort of education they received involved far more than opening up the world of books. In 1859, Berea's leaders were exiled from the state for their anti-slavery stand; Founder Fee himself was mobbed and beaten no fewer than 13 times. Nevertheless, in 1866, the faculty was back again to make the daring announcement that Berea would take in Negroes. Even when Kentucky's Day Law of 1904 specifically forbade the practice, Berea remained faithful to its trust. It dipped...
