...Wall Street banker, longtime member (1946-50) and chairman (1953-58) of the Atomic Energy Commission, Lewis L. Strauss made a lot of enemies during his AEC years in the controversies that swirled about him: his winning fight to get an H-bomb program started, the lifting of Physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer's security clearance, the Dixon-Yates electric-power contract with AEC.

When Seattle-born "J" Stratton took his electrical engineering degree there in 1923, its aims were still basically the same.

It produces some of the country's ablest pure physicists; it has grown from the nation...

("Jim") Dempsey, 37, West Pointer and onetime Air Force lieutenant colonel; Martin's Titan group is bossed by Howard Merrill, 38, a former Air Force captain. Both men made their reputations after going into industry, not before. They recognized, as do many career officers, that promotions are slow in peacetime, and a bright young man can often do better for himself-and in some ways, better for his country-by putting aside his uniform...
