...Charter Stretcher. Ex-Im's current president is Samuel Clark Waugh, 70, a Lincoln, Neb. banker who took over in 1955. Under Waugh, loans last year hit a record $535.9 million.

...Basic Ones. A stiff-collared man of headmasterly mien, Carl Hansen was born in Wolbach, Neb. (pop. 442), graduated from the University of Nebraska, got his doctorate at the University of Southern California. As an English teacher (and later principal) at Omaha's Technical High School, he developed a three-level English curriculum, forerunner of his four-track system. Long before going to Washington in 1947, he had hammered out a tough-minded notion of priorities: "Out of the unbelievable range and variety of human activities and experiences, only a limited number of basic ones can be selected...
