Approximately 100 men and women from diverse organizations (industry, governmental agencies, non-profit institutions, Federal and State agencies, public schools, special vocational schools, advisory committees, women's organizations, and universities) attended the forum. The focus of the program was primarily on secondary schools and eluployinginstitutions in that they seemed most directly related to women's occupational decisions and opportunities. The employer's contribution to the supply of women in technical and scientific occupations was perceived as the attraction and retention of women employees andcommunication and interaction with educational and other institutions. Participants emphasized that the secondary schools' objectives are not and should not be limited to occupational preparation; students need to become aware of manpower projections, demographic factors,combining family/work roles, women in the labor force, and continuing education. Specific suggestions are directed to school administrators, teachers, counselors, parents, and peer groups. The report includes a summary of the remarks of workshop speakers representing the areas of: employment (management viewpoint), labor force, education, and psychology and counseling.

It would be impossible to overstate how essential his insight and mentoring have been to this dissertation and my career in general. Just as important has been his camaraderie, which made the researching and writing of this dissertation infinitely more rewarding. Thanks as well to Bruce Hunt for his support. Especially helpful was his incisive feedback, which both encouraged me to think through my ideas more thoroughly, and reined me in when my writing overshot my argument. I offer my sincerest gratitude to the Smith Richardson Foundation and Yale University International Security Studies for the Predoctoral Fellowship that allowed me to do the bulk of the writing of this dissertation.

  • Jerome Wiesner Was a Creative Force at MIT for the Last Half Century
    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES JEROME BERT WIESNER 1915–1994 A Biographical Memoir by LOUIS D. SMULLIN Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 78 PUBLISHED 2000 BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. Copyright by Karsh, Ottawa JEROME BERT WIESNER May 30, 1915–October 21, 1994 BY LOUIS D. SMULLIN EROME WIESNER—JERRY to almost everybody—led an excit- J ing and productive life and, more than most, he made a difference. His career, the offices he held and the honors he received are spelled out in the MIT obituary notice at the time of his death. As interesting and impressive as is the list of offices and honors, even more interesting is his transformation from a young engineer just out of college to an “electronic warrior” during World War II, to a “cold warrior” during the early days of the “missile gap,” and finally to a leading spokesman for the nuclear test ban and a worker for nuclear disarmament. Jerry and his younger sister, Edna, were the children of Joseph and Ida Wiesner, each of whom had come to the United States at about the turn of the century. To escape having to take violin lessons, at age nineteen, Joseph had run away from his parents in Vienna in about 1892 and had shipped out to places as far away as Alaska and the California gold fields before landing in New York. (Edna remembers her father telling stories about meeting and drinking with Jack London in Alaska.) Ida had come from Romania to New York with her younger sister. She worked in the gar- ment industry and then as a housekeeper until she and 3 4 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS Joseph met and married in 1914.

    Feature Multiple Means to an End: A Reexamination of President Kennedy’s Decision to Go to the Moon By Stephen J. Garber On May 25, 1961, in his famously special “Urgent National Needs” speech to a joint session of Congress, President John E Kennedy made a dramatic call to send Americans to the Moon “before this decade is out.”’ After this resulted in the highly successful and publicized ApoZZo Program that indeed safely flew humans to the Moon from 1969-1972, historians and space aficio- nados have looked back at Kennedy’s decision in varying ways.

  • Project Apollo: Americans to the Moon John M
    Chapter Two Project Apollo: Americans to the Moon John M. Logsdon Project Apollo, the remarkable U.S. space effort that sent 12 astronauts to the surface of Earth’s Moon between July 1969 and December 1972, has been extensively chronicled and analyzed.1 This essay will not attempt to add to this extensive body of literature. Its ambition is much more modest: to provide a coherent narrative within which to place the various documents included in this compendium. In this narrative, key decisions along the path to the Moon will be given particular attention. 1. Roger Launius, in his essay “Interpreting the Moon Landings: Project Apollo and the Historians,” History and Technology, Vol. 22, No. 3 (September 2006): 225–55, has provided a com­ prehensive and thoughtful overview of many of the books written about Apollo. The bibliography accompanying this essay includes almost every book-length study of Apollo and also lists a number of articles and essays interpreting the feat. Among the books Launius singles out for particular attention are: John M. Logsdon, The Decision to Go to the Moon: Project Apollo and the National Interest (Cambridge: MIT Press, 1970); Walter A. McDougall, . the Heavens and the Earth: A Political History of the Space Age (New York: Basic Books, 1985); Vernon Van Dyke, Pride and Power: the Rationale of the Space Program (Urbana, IL: University of Illinois Press, 1964); W. Henry Lambright, Powering Apollo: James E. Webb of NASA (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1995); Roger E.

Memorial Tributes: Volume 8 JEROME BERT WIESNER 291 Jerome Bert Wiesner 1915-1994 By Paul E. Gray In or out of public positions, he never stopped caring or working for the country's good. He never thought it was not his problem . [He] performed the office of public citizen better than any contemporary I know. Anthony Lewis The New York Times October 28, 1994 Jerome B. Wiesner—engineer, educator, adviser to presidents and the young, passionate advocate for peace, and public citizen—died on October 21, 1994, at his home in Watertown, Massachusetts, at the age of seventy-nine. Throughout his life, he applied his intellect and wisdom and energy to improve the many institutions with which he was involved, to ameliorate the problems clouding the future of humankind, and to make the world a better, safer, more humane home to all its citizens. Jerry was born in Detroit, Michigan, on May 30, 1915—the son of a shopkeeper—and grew up in nearby Dearborn, where he attended the public schools. He attended the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where he earned bachelor of science degrees in electrical engineering and mathematics in 1937, the master of science degree in electrical engineering in 1938, and the doctor of philosophy degree in electrical engineering in 1950.

  • The Uses and Limitations of Science Advisors 39 CHAPTER 3 Relationships with Other Powerful Institutions
    The Uses and Limitations of Science Advisors 39 CHAPTER 3 relationships with other powerful institutions. All of these arrangements constrain the options and the information available within the bureaucracy. Thus are bom bureaucratic procedures and bureaucratic truth. Leading govemment officials are usually eventually forced to respond to nonbureaucratic perceptions of reality-by the newspapers, by Congress, or by The Uses and Limitations the courts. But an astute leader will want to know in advance the likely responses to his actions, and he will not wish to be overly constrained by bureaucratic precedent. In order to obtain a candid response on these matters, of Science Advisors he must obviously turn to people whose own positions are sufficiently secure and independent that they will not be much influeneed by the reception their advice is accorded. Hence the need for outside advisors. This need is particularly acute in highly technical areas, where govemment officials often cannot entirely trust their own judgment and where the outside advisors may have a considerably broader expertise thar1 regular govemment employees. Besides helping to prevent the govemment from cutting itself off from reality, the science advisory system has sometimes also acted as an excellent The Need for Science Advice conduit for new ideas and infonnation-both within the govemment and between the govemment and the scientific community. This has been made AJthougb the vast majority of govemment scientific advisors are conc:me~ ~ith possible partly because of the way science advising was organized and partly relatively small decisions (such as the choice of materials to be used m_ military because of the nature of the scientists themselves.
