...three years he worked on a key trustee: Ellsworth C. Alvord, a leading Washington tax attorney and the biggest individual stockholder in General Dynamics Corp. By the time Turbeville got through with Alvord, the lawyer was a convert. By the time Alvord got through with Frank Pace Jr., chairman of General Dynamics, Pace was a dedicated Northland trustee. By this year, tiny Northland has a solid gold board that many a university might envy. Among its members : Presidential Friend George E. Allen, Publisher Gardner Cowles, Industrialist Victor Emanuel, Movie Arbiter Eric Johnston, Financier Floyd B. Odium...
Last week booming Northland received a distinction presently unmatched by any other four-year liberal-arts college. Courtesy of General Dynamics, it will soon have a $250,000 atomic reactor, along with famed Physicists Edward Teller and Frederic de Hoffmann on loan from time to time to lecture in a new $1,000,000 science building. With an additional $10 million endowment in the offing (all earmarked for teachers' salaries), Northland faces an even rosier future.

The company first looks for certain giveaway signs: "Frequent absenteeism (characteristically on Monday); a gradual and appreciable drop in efficiency; a change in general appearance and dress habits; frequent disappearances from work." Next, Du Pont medics approach the alcoholic sympathetically, tell him that the company views his alcohol problem as an illness, not unlike heart disease. The company then sends the drinker to its own psychiatrists and to Alcoholics Anonymous-and it holds that...
...such successes are the exception rather than the rule, and most of the critics admit it. The Times's Jack Gould even declines to take credit for getting the Security Council sessions onto the networks. Says he: "I only confirmed a general attitude." Says a network vice president in Chicago: "A lot of network brass would say, 'Oh, yes, we take the critics' opinion seriously,' but they get nothing but a chuckle behind closed doors...
