...family every detail about finances down to the family car. The service will send copies of the form to the various campuses to which the student applied. Armed with this common information, the campuses will then decide just how much the student should get.

He had been smarting ever since Texas Eastern outbid him in 1947 to win control of the war-surplus Big Inch and Little Big Inch oil pipelines and converted them to gas (TIME, Feb. 24, 1947). Determined to beat his rivals into New England, Symonds formed a subsidiary, Northeastern Gas Transmission Co., and in 1950 filed an application to build a line into New England from the Buffalo terminus of Tennessee...
