But it suggests that ITT had a strange and wonderful entrée to the inner sanctums of the Republican Administration that was in no way cut off during the antitrust proceedings...

Although his service as Boston coordinator of the 1963 March on Washington might suggest that this was not always true, Epps sees his present role within these limits. "I've pretty much said to myself that if I'm to make a contribution to the development of blacks in this country it should be strictly within this institution," he says...
