...name-and the fact that he had a famous brother-few students or facultymen at Pennsylvania State College knew much about the man just appointed their president in 1950. True enough, Milton S. Eisenhower had been the successful head of Kansas State College for seven years, but the Penn Staters were still skeptical about how he might turn out.

Thus the steelmakers opened negotiations for a new contract. There was nothing new or unexpected in the union's 22 contract demands-a guaranteed annual wage, "substantial" wage increases, premium pay for weekend work-and the first session brought out no fireworks. Nevertheless the session made history. Sitting around the table were representatives not only from giant U.S. Steel but from Bethlehem and Republic...
