...President. Economist Heller is an impressive man, of a type that especially impresses John Kennedy: the present-minded professor who tempers earnestness with cordiality and intellect with a touch of ambitious worldliness. In looking around for a top economist to chair the Council of Economic Advisers, Kennedy asked several economists to furnish him with lists of prospects, and Heller's name stood high on most lists, but what tipped the decision to Heller was probably that almost-never-was encounter in Minneapolis.

In my opinion, education to a certain extent should bring you into contact with human beings who you feel have travelled further than you have in a spiritual sense, not just in terms of intellect, but in terms of being a human being... I frankly didn't run into one person, one human being here that I could say I truly admired and wanted to be like.

Debate & Dramatics. The Rev. John Courtney Murray, S.J., is unquestionably the intellectual bellwether of this new Catholic and American frontier. He is peculiarly well fitted for this role-by intellect, by temperament and, just as important, by a life that has been largely insulated from the psychosociological problems of the Catholics...
