...society from which a university is not immune." So does Shils. His list is a small and cautious one, though. Universities, he feels, are obliged to offer access to higher education for all who qualify, to provide training in those professions that have an intellectual component (such as law and medicine), to make expert advice available to Government decision makers, and to staff Government research projects that do not threaten to exhaust the university's stock of traditional intellectual capital...

When he retired because of ill health, the job went to another brother-in-law, Ilie Verdeţ husband of Ceauşescu's sister Reghina.

The resulting demand has persuaded more than half of America's solar manufacturers, including Arco Solar, the well-bankrolled subsidiary...

The Post, for instance, was handed down from Eugene Meyer to his brilliant son-in-law Philip Graham. Eventually Graham used Meyer's money to buy out the competition and create a morning monopoly in Washington. According to conventional wisdom, that is the time when publishers kick out the reporters and make room for the advertisers.
