...Government itself had, in fact, been trying to get Du Pont to expand. The Atomic Energy Commission has been vainly begging Du Pont, which ran the Hanford atomic plant during the war and then got out lest it be tagged as a merchant of death again, to put its vast resources back to work on atomic energy. But as long as Tom Clark thought Du Pont was too big, there was small hope that Du Pont would accede to AEC's plea to grow bigger...
