The furor didn't end until September 24 1934, when the President and Fellows of Harvard University voted not to accept $1,000 from Hanfstaengl, a sum that he had hoped would be used to fund a travelling scholarship to bear his name...
Born in the French resort town of Biarritz, the son of a chief of the local gas and electric company, Bergerac studied economics and political science at the Sorbonne and Cambridge. He came to the U.S. at 21, earned an M.B.A. from U.C.L.A., and for one six-month period worked as a ranch hand roping horses in Oregon. He joined Cannon Electric Co. of Los Angeles as a salesman, and in three years worked up to international vice president. Meanwhile, he became a U.S. citizen and married Norma Langstaff, a Los Angeles abstract painter who has had several art shows...

Since preparations of the drug are known to vary, NCI will formulate and distribute the Laetrile to be used...
...later reduced his bid by $15,000 during the final negotiations, in order to assure himself of the project. "Through my inexperience as a negotiator, I let myself," Cruz says.
