Towards evening his doctor came and gave him a sedative, and left. The last words his visitor remembers were those of any man who is ill, questions like: "What time is it?" Around midnight Thomas suddenly went into coma. An ambulance rushed him to nearby St. Vincent's Hospital. During the next few days distraught poets, painters, sculptors and assorted hangers-on crowded into the hospital lobby, sometimes 40 deep. Thomas' wife Caitlin flew in from London, proved so distraught herself that she had to be put temporarily into a hospital at Astoria, L.I. That is where...

But beyond Caltech and Washington, Lee DuBridge plays another role: that of the dedicated spokesman for scientific and engineering education at its best...
...matters affecting the institute, individualism melts into unity. On one occasion, a visiting professor from a Midwest university asked Physicist Robert Bacher how long it takes the faculty to reach a major policy decision. "Oh," replied Bacher, "anywhere from ten minutes to two hours." Replied the astounded visitor: "Why, it takes us months...
