...Murray went on to become a Manhattan surgeon, a Rockefeller Institute embryologist, a Cambridge University Ph.D. (biochemistry), a personal student of Psychiatrist Carl Jung. He ran the Harvard Psychological Clinic, designed the personality-assessing Thematic Apperception Test, won a Legion of Merit medal for his work in the wartime OSS, and conducted impeccable personal research into everything from fear, fantasy and humor to religion, myths and Melville's novels...
Like Bundy, Franklin Ford is a longtime Harvard man who did not go to Harvard. He got his B.A. from the University of Minnesota, where his uncle, Guy Stanton Ford, was once president. After wartime service in the OSS, Ford went to Harvard for graduate work. Except for a year of teaching at Bennington and three years on research fellowships (including the past year at The Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford), he has been there ever since. In one relevant respect Ford is different from Bundy and two or three dozen other former Harvard facultymen...
Died. Harold Albert Lamb, 69, gifted popularizer of history who chronicled the Oriental despots from Genghis Khan to Suleiman the Magnificent, a dedicated student of the Middle East who could read Turkish, Arabic and Persian and during World War II was a top OSS agent in the area, yet could also expand the three known facts about the life of Omar Khayyam into 316 pages of entertaining reading and turn out movie scripts (The Golden Horde, The Crusades) that delighted the heart of Cecil B.

Gardner, 49, a deceptively casual Californian who took his doctorate in psychol ogy at the University of California at Berkeley. A prewar teacher at Mount Holyoke, Gardner is himself an example of Carnegie foresight. The corporation spotted him when he was a Marine Corps captain assigned to the OSS, and by 1955 he was president. One of the few top "philanthropoids" to rise through foundation ranks, Gardner is also one of the few with a gift for words. Gardner chiefly drafted the Rockefeller Brothers Fund's famed The Pursuit of Excellence, followed it with his own thoughtful book, Excellence...
Early in October, Hughes, a lieutenant colonel in the Office of Strategic Services during World War II, testified on behalf of Soblen at a hearing for a retrial. He contended that Soblen's alleged contacts in the OSS, Dr. Hans Hirschfeld and Horst Baerensprung, could not have had access to military secrets because they worked in the biographical records unit, which Hughes called the least secret part of the OSS...
