...Murphy, X-ray technician at Dillon and spokesman for the training staff, stresses the point that anyone who walks into the room gets equal attention. "If President Pusey walked in right now," he said, "he'd have to get at the end of the line." A varsity player can move to the head of the line, but no one else can pull rank...
...white collar man, a prospective management official, seems a different bread from the technically trained men who produce the industry's bread and butter, airplanes. Little advice can be given about job opportunities, starting salaries, or benefits for the desk man compared to the laborer or the technician. The lack of recruiting at the college level is starting because these are the men who will eventually run the concern.

Dulles' record of accomplishment was not a result of skill as a diplomatic negotiator. As the unsurpassed technician of the conference table, Acheson's performance was far smoother, and Dulles gave his predecessor full marks for good intention and did not claim that his own desire for such laudable goals as peace was any greater than Acheson's. But there is more to getting a peace than wanting it, more to working toward decisions than suavity and adroitness at the conference table. A statesman who wants peace has to find specific policies which will lead his adversary...
