...took the documents to the home of Oregon's ex-Republican, ex-Independent, now Democratic Senator Wayne Morse, who had none of Williams' qualms about accepting them. Morse grandly offered to return them to the House-and permitted new Subcommittee Chairman Harris to come for them in person...

Says Germany's veteran Rocketeer Rolf Engel, who has known Von Braun since 1928: "He is a human leader whose eyes and thoughts have always been turned toward the stars. It would be foolish to assign rocketry success to one person totally. Components must necessarily be the work of many minds; so must successive stages of development.
