Taft understood this power better than most reporters did. Characteristically, he had bluntly said what he thought, but he showed no sign of wanting to start an all-out feud. No one at the Eisenhower headquarters was inclined to get into an argument with him. Contrary to some speculation, there was no oversight and no deliberate affront in the way the Durkin appointment was handled. Taft was asked for recommendations, submitted some (including Connecticut's former Senator John A. Danaher). His suggestions were considered, and rejected. Ike thought that Durkin would give the Cabinet balance and implement the campaign...
...faculty watched the Hudnut-Gropius disagreements seethe and finally erupt into a bitter personal feud. After the lucrative post-war years, when the G.I. bill swelled the school's enrollment, inflation began to slice the endowment.

It was a Pyrrhic victory for Nye, for as one of Labor's official Parliamentary spokesmen, sitting on the front bench...
...Interior, a Westerner was almost inevitable since Interior's most important sphere of action is in the West (power development, conservation, etc.). An early possibility was Governor Dan Thornton of Colorado. Eisenhower advisers remembered the feud between Colorado and Arizona and California over division of the Colorado River water, advised against a Colorado man. Ike chose Oregon's Governor Douglas McKay, whom he had met during his campaign in the Northwest and liked for his independence and common sense...
