The Department of Health, Education and Welfare alone administers nearly 100 poverty-connected programs.

...handle federal research in oceanography (a concept fathered, not coincidentally, by Nova Adviser Spilhaus). To complete his campus, Winstead persuaded the Government to give Nova 91 acres of a deserted naval air station, got a $1,100,000 federal loan for married students' housing, a $552,000 HEW grant for an educational center...
