CASE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Kingman Brewster Jr., LL.D., 17th president of Yale University. Almost any Yaleman can become a university president. But only one can be president of Yale, namely, the best...
...young Yaleman who recently entered executive training at Pittsburgh's H. J. Heinz Co. was typical in everything but his well-tested name: H. J. (for Henry John) Heinz III. The son, grandson and great-grandson of Heinz presidents, Jack Heinz, 27, may someday run the company-but that future is by no means assured. Widespread public ownership of companies that once were family-owned has ruled out most automatic successions, and the sons of corporate bosses have to work hard and compete with a lot of bright young men if they hope to win their fathers' posts...
...that kind of spare, John O'Hara-type dialogue, and no wonder, since he is the novelist's stepson, child of O'Hara's third wife by her first marriage. "John," he says, "taught me a good deal about writing dialogue," and the blond, bespectacled Yaleman ('58) showed how well he had learned by winning the $10,000 Harper Prize for unpublished novels, which means that Harper & Row will publish his P.

He was chairman of the local America First Com mittee, among a dozen other campus activities, but when war came, lie signed up as a Navy fighter pilot. Instead of returning to Yale, Brewster went through Harvard Law School, became a professor in it, and was talked about as a possible future dean. It was while...
Obviously used to homework, Sizer is the son of Yale's mustachioed Pro fessor Emeritus Theodore Sizer, a splendidly offbeat art historian now serving as Yale's first "Pursuivant of Arms" (designer of college flags). Himself a Yaleman ('53), the younger Sizer first learned that he liked teaching when he became an Army gunnery instructor, later taught math and English at Boston's private Roxbury Latin School. By 1961 he was an assistant professor, with a Harvard Ph.D. in history and education. More important, he became director of the education school's main claim...
