...basic science, not from other colleges' texts and courses. A further provision: 35% of each student's study was to be in the humanities, a proportion larger than is required at such schools as M.I.T. and Caltech. "We need creative, responsible scientists and engineers," explains young (43), pipe-smoking President Joseph B. Platt, head of the physics department and onetime (1949-51) chief research physicist for the Atomic Energy Commission. "These men will need solid training in the basic sciences on which technology is built. They can learn the applications of these basics on the job. The ability...

He had done well with a radio program and a daytime television show of his own, but never well enough to make it big. One TV executive dismissed him as strictly a "pipe and slipper type." What happened next is told by NBC's Board Chairman Robert Sarnoff: "We faced a critical decision. The America After Dark version of our Tonight show was a shambles.
