...High Command chosen by the President to lead the way into this wilderness consisted of five men, because no one man alone could be expected to bear such responsibilities. Four of them might have been picked at random from the leaders of U.S. society: a Midwestern editor, a scientist, a banker-philanthropist, an industrialist. Their salaries were $15,000 a year...
...editor was friendly, shaggy William Wesley Waymack, 58, who looks more like a farmer than a Pulitzer-Prize-winning editor of the Des Moines Register. The scientist was Robert Fox Bacher, 41, cool, deliberate, diplomatic, the head of nuclear research at Cornell University and one of the scientists who assembled, the first atomic bomb. The banker was Lewis Lichtenstein Strauss, 51, a mellow, courtly, impeccably dressed philanthropist, partner in New York's Kuhn, Loeb & Co. The industrialist was tall, rangy Sumner Pike, 55, a bachelor and adventurous industrialist with a shrewd, twangy Yankee humor...

But by the time L.S.U.'s Board of Supervisors picked him from 144 candidates, they knew what his terms would be. He had made it clear that he wanted "full authority to administer...
...even $200. But it would be less misleading to call it $215 and avoid the implication that the Medical and Infirmary fee is anything less than obligatory, for the only ground on which an undergraduate can be exempted from payment of the fee is that he be a Christian Scientist. Otherwise he must come through with that $15 per term, $45 for a full year including Summer Term, even though he may be a resident of Cambridge, married, with his own private physician, and a subscriber to the Massachusetts Blue Cross and Blue Shield, which cover almost every medical...
