...book, "God and Man at Yale," he'll probably be disappointed. Except for six features by faculty and a series of editorials in the Yale Daily News, all of which tried to shake the Buckley thesis out of kilter, nobody in New Haven has reacted. Certainly no attempt to reform Yale to "proper" conservatism along Buckley lines has gotten rolling yet.

His $50 million fortune-and that of the whole breakfast-food industry-grew out of the Health Reform Institute, a water cure operated in Battle Creek by the Seventh Day Adventists. When they abandoned it in 1876, Kellogg's doctor-brother, John, turned it into the Battle Creek Sanitarium, invented flaked cereals to feed his patients. One of them, C. W.
