| Bechtel, Stephen D., Sr. |
Mandalay |
His father died under strange circumstances in Moscow. The
Bechtel Company is a privately owned (giant) construction firm operating worldwide and
headquartered in San Francisco and is a mainstay of the nuclear industry. Bechtel designed
the military space shuttle facility at Vandenburg Air Force Base. It is known for decades
for its many boondoggles all over the world. Bechtel had been rescued in its time of need
by J. Henry Schroder and Avery Rockefeller. On June 3, 1954, the New York Times announced
that Stephen Bechtel, chmn of Bechtel Corp. had become partner of J.P. Morgan Co. In 1955,
Fortune reported that as Under Secretary of State, C. Douglas Dillon had arranged
important contracts for Bechtel with the Saudi Arabian government, culminating in the
present $135 billion Jubail operation. In January, 1975, Fortune pointed out that Bechtel
had never been in the red for a single year, because "Its engineering projects are
invariably financed by its clients." These clients are usually governments, a lesson
which may have been learned from the Rothschilds. Bechtel funds the Heritage Foundation,
which made large contributions to the neocon agenda since the 1980's. Heritage is headed
by Le Cercle member Edwin J. Feulner, who is another member of the Bohemian Grove. Bechtel
is a leading player in water system privatization, ranking just behind the big three --

| Bierce, Ambrose G. |
|
American satirist, and critic, short story writer, editor
and journalist. Born in Ohio in 1842. Military career from 1860 to 1866 and moved to San
Francisco. He remained there for many years, eventually becoming famous as a contributor
and/or editor for a number of local newspapers and periodicals, including The San
Francisco News Letter, The Argonaut, and The Wasp. Bierce lived and wrote in England from
1872 to 1875. Returning to the United States, he again took up residence in San Francisco.
In 1887, he became one of the first regular columnists and editorialists to be employed on
William Randolph Hearst's newspaper, the San Francisco Examiner, eventually becoming one
of the most prominent and influential among the writers and journalists of the West Coast.
In December 1899, he moved to Washington, DC, but continued his association with the
Hearst newspapers until 1906. Because of his penchant for biting social criticism and
satire, Bierce's long newspaper career was often steeped in controversy. On several
occasions his columns stirred up a storm of hostile reaction which created difficulties
for Hearst. One of the most notable of these incidents occurred following the
assassination of President William McKinley when Hearst's political opponents turned a
satirical poem Bierce had written in 1900 into a cause célèbre. Bierce meant his poem,
written on the occasion of the assassination of Governor-elect William Goebel of Kentucky,
to express a national mood of dismay and fear, but after McKinley was shot in 1901 it
seemed to foreshadow the crime: The bullet that
pierced Goebel's breast
Can not be found in all the West;
Good reason, it is speeding here
To stretch McKinley on his bier.
Hearst was accused by rival newspapers — and by then
Secretary of State Elihu Root (Pilgrims Society; co-founder Carnegie Endowment and its
first president; main founder CFR) — of having called for McKinley's assassination.
Despite a national uproar that ended his ambitions for the presidency (and even his
membership in the Bohemian Club), Hearst neither revealed Bierce as the author of the
poem, nor fired him.
His short stories are considered among the best of the 19th
century. In October 1913, the septuagenarian Bierce departed Washington on a tour to
revisit his old Civil War battlefields. By December, he had proceeded on through Louisiana
and Texas, crossing by way of El Paso into Mexico, which was then in the throes of
revolution. In Ciudad Juárez, he joined the army of Pancho Villa as an observer, in which
role he participated in the battle of Tierra Blanca. He is known to have accompanied
Villa's army as far as the city of Chihuahua, Chihuahua. After a last letter to a close
friend, sent from that city on December 26, 1913, he vanished without a trace, becoming
one of the most famous disappearances in American literary history. Subsequent
investigations to ascertain his fate were fruitless and, despite many decades of
speculation, his disappearance remains a mystery. |

lord-in-waiting to the King (1924-1936). Another brother, Robert H. Brand (since 1946
Baron Brand), was regarded as the economist of the Round Table Group or Milner's
Kindergarten and became a partner and managing director of Lazard Brothers, a director of

Few figures have played a more important role in the
political and governmental history of modern California than that of Edmund G.
"Pat" Brown. Elected district attorney of San Francisco in 1943, Brown began a
productive and distinguished career in local law enforcement. He instituted a systematic
reform program, cracked down on commercial vice, and reshaped much of the city's legal
system. Brown's reputation soared along with his reforms. He won election to the office of
state attorney general in 1950, adopted a tough approach to his responsibilities, and
worked to root out official corruption and organized crime. By 1958 he had become the most
popular figure in the California Democratic organization. Elected the same year to the
governor's office on a platform strongly committed to humane and responsive government,
Brown set in a motion a chain of political and social reforms. |

|
Butler earned an A.B (1882), M.A. (1883) and Ph.D. (1884),
all in philosophy, at Columbia, specializing in the writings of the German philosopher
Immanuel Kant. He studied for a year at the universities of Berlin and Paris. Became a
staff member of the Department of Philosophy at Columbia College, later known as Columbia
University. In 1882, Nicholas Murray Butler was appointed by Columbia president Henry
Barnard to offer Saturday lectures for teachers. The turnout was enormous. Member New
Jersey Board of Education from 1887 to 1895. Delegate to the Republican Convention
1888-1936. In 1891 Butler founded the Educational Review, a journal of educational
philosophies and developments. He served as its editor until 1921. Organized the New York
College for the Training of Teachers in 1892, affiliated with Columbia. Chairman the
Paterson school 1892-1893. In these roles he led efforts to remove state political
interference from local New Jersey school systems. In New York City, he did the same,
spurring the creation of a citywide school board that emphasized professionalism and
policy over political spoils (1895–1897). When New York City's consolidation was
complete, New York State sought a similar reform with Butler's advice, completed in 1904.
Participated in the formation of the College Entrance Examination Board in 1900. Had
become a close friend of Pilgrims Society member Elihu Root by this time. President of
Columbia University 1901-1945. Professor Carroll Quigley wrote in 'Tragedy and Hope': "J.P.
Morgan and his associates were the most significant figures in policy making at Harvard,
Columbia and Yale while the Whitneys and Prudential Insurance Company dominated Princeton.
The chief officials of these universities were beholden to these financial powers and
usually owed their jobs to them... Morgan himself helped make Nicholas Murray Butler
president of Columbia." Robert A. McCaughey wrote in 'Stand Columbia: A History
of Columbia University in the City of New York, 1754–2004': "A compulsive
name-dropper given to self-puffery, Butler was nevertheless an effective administrator [of
Columbia], and J.P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, and E. H. Harriman sought to hire him to run
their enterprises." Butler held the presidency in some of their railroad
companies. President of the Germanistic Society of Columbia University in 1905-1906 and a
director from 1908-1917. It organized and sponsored lecture series for German scholars in
the United States. Travelled to Europe on occasion where he met with Kaiser Wilhelm and
Mussolini in his early fascist days. Quote from the 1973 book 'The Glory and the Dream, a
Narrative History of America, 1932-1972', by William Manchester, pages 67-68: "Nicholas
Murray Butler told his students that totalitarian regimes brought forth "men of far
greater intelligence, far stronger character, and far more courage than the system of
elections," and if anyone represented the American establishment then it was Dr.
Butler, with his 34 honorary degrees, and his thirty year tenure as president of Columbia
University." (quoted by Charles Savoie) Supposedly Butler agreed with some of
the Nazi racial theories about the superiority of the Teuton race. Another quote
attributed to him is: "The history of American education and of our American
contributions to philosophical thought cannot be understood or estimated with[out] knowing
of the life work of Dr. William Torrey Harris." Harris, a supporter of Emmanuel
Kant and Georg Hegel, shaped modern American education to a large degree. He also was
highly influential in popularizing Hegel's philosophies in the second half of the 19th
century. Established a friendship with Governor Theodore Roosevelt in the early 20th
century. President University Settlement Society 1905-1914. Became a trustee of the
Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in 1905. President American Academy in
Rome 1905-1940s. President of the American branch of International Conciliation, an
organization founded in 1905 by a Nobel peace laureate, Baron d'Estournelles de Constant

Crusades", whatever that means). Chairman of the Lake Mohonk Conferences on
International Arbitration, which met periodically from 1907 to 1912. President American
Scandinavian Society 1908-1911. Influential in persuading Andrew Carnegie (a Pilgrims
member, Hegelian, and Social Darwinist) to establish the Endowment in 1910 with a gift of
$10,000,000 he served as head of the Endowment's section on international education and
communication, founded the European branch of the Endowment, with headquarters in Paris,
and held the presidency of the parent Endowment from 1925 to 1945. In 1912, Roosevelt ran
for the presidency as the candidate of the Progressive Party, which drew most of its
strength from Republicans, against the nominees of the constituted party: Taft for the
presidency and Butler for the vice-presidency. By splitting the national vote, they
permitted the Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, to win the election. President France-America
Society 1914-1924. Nicholas Murray Butler, in an address delivered before the Union League
of Philadelphia, Nov. 27, 1915: "The peace conference has assembled. It will make
the most momentous decisions in history, and upon these decisions will rest the stability
of the new world order and the future peace of the world." Both Nicholas Murray
Butler and Elihu Root were staunch supporters of the League of Nations that would emerge
after WWI. In 1916 Butler failed in his attempt to secure the Republican presidential
nomination for Root. President American Hellenic Society 1917-1940s. William Bostock paper
(University of Tasmania), 'To the limits of acceptability: political control of higher
education' (2002): "On October 8, 1917, the famous historian Charles A. Beard
resigned from Columbia University in protest over the dismissal of two colleagues,
Professors Cattell and Dana, for having publicly opposed the entry of the United States
into World War I. Cattell and Dana urged opposition to the draft, incurring the censure of
Columbia President Nicholas Murray Butler and the Columbia Board of Trustees. There had
also been a history of conflict over academic leadership and governance between Butler and
Cattell, a distinguished psychologist." Michael Parenti, 'Against Empire'
(1995), chapter 10: "A leading historian, Charles Beard, was grilled by the
Columbia University trustees, who were concerned that his views might "inculcate
disrespect for American institutions." In disgust Beard resigned from Columbia,
declaring that the trustees and Nicholas Murray Butler sought "to drive out or
humiliate or terrorize every man who held progressive, liberal, or unconventional views on
political matters." Elihu Root, Nicholas Murray Butler, and Stephen P. Duggan
Sr. (CFR director) founded the Institute for International Education in 1919. Failed to
secure the Republican presidential nomination in 1920. During the 1920s Butler was a
member of the General Committee of the American Society for the Control of Cancer, chaired
by Thomas W. Lamont, a Rockefeller banker and Pilgrims Society member. John D.
Rockefeller, Sr. once wrote a public letter to Butler explaining why he supported the
prohibition movement. According to Richard Koudenhove-Kalergi in his 1958 book 'Eine Idee
erobert Europa. Meine Lebenserinnerungen' (translated): "One of my most energetic
American friends and patrons was the president of the Columbia University, Nicholas Murray
Butler, the president of the Carnegie Endowment at the same time. He wrote the foreword to
the American edition of Paneuropa." Kalergi's Paneuropa movement was set up and
funded by Max Warburg and Louis Rothschild in 1923. Paul and Felix Warburg were promoting
the movement in the United States and Rothschild-ally Leopold S. Amery was a major
supporter from the United Kingdom. Stephen P. Duggan, the CFR director and co-founder of
the Institute for International Education, became the president of the American
Cooperative Committee of the Pan-European Union (he held this position from 1925 to 1940).
In 1927 Butler assisted the U.S. State Department in developing the Kellogg-Briand Pact.

President Italy-America Society 1929-1935. Director of the New York Life Insurance
Corporation 1929-1939. Nobel Peace Prize 1931. Received a gold medal from the National

Morgan. On November 19, 1937, Butler attended a meeting where Pilgrims Society member
Robert Cecil, 1st Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, received a Nobel Prize for his work in
establishing the League of Nations. Both Butler and Lord Cecil held speeches about the
role the League of Nations should have. Although it is only a rumor, Butler is supposed to
have said at this meeting (in private) that communism was a tool of the British financial
powers to knock down national governments and to bring about a world government in the
future. Chairman Carnegie Corporation of New York 1937-1945. Vice-president International
Benjamin Franklin Society in 1939. Governor Pan American Trade Committee in 1939. Governor

group that watches things happen, and the great multitude which never knows what
happened." |

William Donovan was born in Buffalo, United States, on 1st

Donovan was an active member of the Republican Party and after meeting Herbert Hoover he
worked as his political adviser, speech writer and campaign manager. During the First
World War Donovan joined the United States Army and as a colonel in the 69th Infantry
Regiment won the Medal of Honor and three Purple Hearts. While in Europe he visited Russia
and spent time with Alexander Kolchak and the White Army. Donovan ran unsuccessfully as
lieutenant governor in 1922 but was appointed by President Calvin Coolidge as his
assistant attorney general. In 1932 he was the Republican candidate for the post of
governor of New York. By the time Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president in 1932
Donovan was a millionaire Wall Street lawyer. He was a strong opponent of Roosevelt's New
Deal but shared the president's concern about political developments in Nazi Germany and
in 1940 Donovan agreed to take part in several secret fact-finding missions in Europe. In
July 1941, Roosevelt appointed Donovan as his Coordinator of Information. The following
year Donovan became head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), an organization that
was given the responsible for espionage and for helping the resistance movement in Europe.
He was helped in this by William Stephenson and Britain's MI6 chief, Stewart Menzies.
Donovan was given the rank of major general and during the Second World War he built up a
team of 16,000 agents working behind enemy lines. As soon as the Second World War ended
President Harry S. Truman ordered the OSS to be closed down. However, it provided a model
for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) established in September 1947. Donovan returned
to his law practice in 1946. In 1949, he became chairman of the newly-founded American
Committee on United Europe (ACUE), which he helped to establish together with Churchill
son-in-law and CIA agent Duncan Sandys, Vatican agent Joseph Retinger, and Knights of
Malta member and CIA chief Allen Dulles. Donovan himself was another member of the Knights
of Malta. Through the ACUE a lot of CIA, Rockefeller, and Ford money was funneled to Radio
Free Europe, the Economist, the European Council of Princes, the Gehlen Organization, and
the Stay-Behind networks. Donovan became ambassador to Thailand in 1953 and died in 1959.
He was already attending the Bohemian Grove in the 1920's. |

Cave Man |
Once hosted by Nixon. Member of the secretive intelligence
group Le Cercle. Dr. Feulner has studied at the University of Edinburgh, the London School
of Economics, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Georgetown University,
and Regis University. Feulner is the President of enormously influential right-wing
Heritage Foundation, Washington’s leading public policy organization or think tank.
Unlike most other think tanks, Heritage not only suggests ideas but actively pushes them
in Congress. If you have any doubt that the Heritage Foundation is engaged in systematic
lobbying, consider the words of Heritage vice presidents Stuart Butler and Kim Holmes,
published in the 1995 Annual Report issued in spring 1996:
Butler: Heritage now works very closely with the congressional
leadership.... Heritage has been involved in crafting almost every piece of major
legislation to move through Congress.
Holmes: Without exaggeration, I think we've in effect become
Congress's unofficial research arm.... We truly have become an extension of the
congressional staff, but on our own terms and according to our own agenda.
Butler: That's right. As Kim knows, things have been happening
so fast on Capitol Hill we've had to sharpen our management skills to take full advantage
of the opportunities. There has also been an unprecedented demand on us to "crunch
the numbers" for the new congressional leadership.
On January 18, 1989 President Reagan conferred the Presidential Citizens Medal on Feulner
as "a leader of the conservative movement." Feulner also serves as Treasurer and
Trustee of The Mont Pelerin Society; Trustee and former Chairman of the Board of The
Intercollegiate Studies Institute; member of the Board of the National Chamber Foundation;
member of the Board of Visitors of George Mason University; a Trustee of the Acton
Institute, and the International Republican Institute. He is past president of various
organizations including The Philadelphia Society and the Mont Pelerin Society, and past
Director of Sequoia Bank, Regis University and the Council for National Policy. Feulner
served on the Congressional Commission on International Financial Institutions
("Meltzer Commission," 1999-2000). He was the Vice Chairman of the National
Commission on Economic Growth and Tax Reform ("Kemp Commission," 1995-1996),
Counselor to Vice Presidential candidate Jack Kemp (1996), Chairman of the U.S. Advisory
Commission on Public Diplomacy (1982-91), a Consultant for Domestic Policy to President
Reagan, and an advisor to several government departments and agencies. He was a member of
the President’s Commission on White House Fellows (1981-83), of the Secretary of
State’s UNESCO Review Observation Panel (1985-89), and of the Carlucci Commission on
Foreign Aid (1983). In the summer of 1982, he served as a United States Representative to
the United Nations Second Special Session on Disarmament (with the rank of Ambassador)
where he delivered the final United States address to the General Assembly. During the
transition from the Carter Administration to the Reagan Administration, Feulner served on
the Executive Committee of the Presidential Transition. He remains involved in various
aspects of foreign policy, particularly public diplomacy, international communications
issues and international economic policy. He has served on the United States delegations
to several meetings of the IMF/World Bank group. Feulner was the former chairman of the
Institute for European Defense and Strategic Studies. By Georges Magazine he was ranked nr
45 in a list of the 50 most influential politicians. Greenspan was one, Cheney was two. |
| Field, Charles K. |
|
Charles Kellogg Field (1873-1948), was a graduate of the
Stanford class of 1895, and wrote Four-leaved Clover: being Stanford Rhymes, in
1896, under the pen name Carolus Ager. He also penned Stanford Stories, in 1900, with
author Will Irwin. He wrote several Bohemian Grove plays performed during midsummer jinks
between 1902 and 1918. Became editor of Sunset Magazine in 1911, after Charles Sedgwick
Aiken had headed it since 1902. Sunset was founded in May 1898 by Southern Pacific
Railroad. Chairman of this company was Edward Harriman. One of the largest stockholders in
the company was Harknesses, also large shareholders of Standard Oil and intermarried with
the Stillman family, which, in its turn, was also intermarried with the Rockefellers. The
magazine dealt with the outdoors, artistic writings, and things about everyday life. It
also wrote about the Asian-American relations along the Pacific Coast, a sensitive issue
for the magazine because of its geographic proximity to large Asian communities in San
Francisco. In 1914, Southern Pacific Railroad sold the Magazine to Woodhead, [charles] Field and Company, largely because many contributors to
the magazine were against many of the policies of the extremely wealthy industrialists.
After Southern Pacific bounced it, the magazine focused even more on the works of
Bohemians like Ina Coolbrith, Jack London, Bret Harte, and John Muir (founder of the
Sierra Club). Until his death in 1910, the magazine also published the works of Pilgrims
Society member and Bohemian Club member Mark Twain. Charles Field was very much a member
of Bohemian Club and literary circles during the early part of the century. He entered
broadcasting in his 60s, and was “Cheerio” on KGO-AM in the mid 1930s. In 1936,
he bought the Johnson-Field house and turned the barn into a theater. Supposedly, he
hanged himself from the banister in 1948. According to a webpage written by the Newfane
Elementary School: "Mr. Charles K. Field bought the house in 1936. He was famous
and had a national radio show. He turned the barn into a theater. A ballet troupe even
trained there. On September 3, 1948, Mr. Field hanged himself from the banister." Field
was one of the friends of Herbert Hoover from their Stanford days. |

returned to California to study law at the University of Southern California where he took
his LL.B. degree in 1951. After being admitted to the California bar, he practiced law
until 1958 when he went back to Washington as administrative assistant to Vice-President
Nixon. In 1960, Mr. Finch managed Vice-President Nixon's unsuccessful campaign for
President of the United States. In 1966, he was elected as Lieutenant Governor of

Ford was a member of the House of Representatives for 24
years from 1949 to 1973, and became Minority Leader of the Republican Party in the House.
Ford was very popular with the voters in his district and was always re-elected with 60%
margins. During his tenure, Ford was chosen to serve on the Warren Commission, a special
task force set up to investigate the causes of, and quell rumors regarding the
assassination of President John F. Kennedy. After Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned
during Richard Nixon's presidency, on October 10, 1973, Nixon nominated Ford to take
Agnew's place, under the 25th Amendment - the first time it was applied. The United States
Senate voted 92 to 3 to confirm Ford on November 27, 1973. Ford had long been one of
President Nixon's most outspoken supporters (someone joked once that "He is one of
the few people who not only admires Nixon, but actually likes him!"). Ford traveled
widely as Vice President and made many speeches defending the embattled President. He
cited the many achievements of President Nixon and dismissed Watergate as a media event
and a tragic sideshow. When Nixon then resigned in the wake of the Watergate scandal on
August 9, 1974, Ford assumed the presidency, proclaiming that "our long national
nightmare is over". On August 20 Ford nominated former New York Governor Nelson
Rockefeller to fill the Vice Presidency he had vacated, again under the 25th Amendment.

Born in Philadelphia in 1924. University of Notre Dame
1942-1944. West Point 1944-1947. Commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army, serving in
Japan and Korea on the staff of General Douglas MacArthur. In 1950, he married the
daughter of MacArthur's deputy chief of staff, to whom Haig was aide-de-camp. Served in
Korea 1950-1951 where he freed Sun Myung Moon (the person who thinks he's the new Messiah)
from a concentration camp during the battle of Inchon in September 1950. Studied business
administration at Columbia University 1954-1955. Operations officer of a tank battalion in
Europe 1956-1958. Student at Naval War College 1959-1960. M.A. in International Relations
from Georgetown University 1962. In 1962 he was selected over many other applicants to
become a staff aide to a Kennedy Administration task force on Cuba directed by Cyrus Vance
and Joseph A. Califano, Jr. Here he became involved with the CIA trying to overthrow Fidel
Castro. He was the Pentagon's representative to a highly classified unit known as the
"Subcommittee on Subversion", who's target was Cuba. Stayed at the Pentagon
until 1965. Battalion and brigade commander in Vietnam 1966-1967. Deputy Commander of
Cadets at West Point 1967-1968. Military aide on the National Security Council staff
1968-1969. Senior Military Advisor to the Assistant of the President for National Security
Affairs, Henry Kissinger, 1969-1973. Worked all the time-every day, every night, and every
weekend-to insure that the flow of documents in and out of Kissinger's office was
uninterrupted. Haig was one of the persons that kept pushing the bombing of Cambodia and
was working every moderate staff member out of office. Coordinated Nixon's historic visit
to China in February 1972. Haig long was rumored to have been Deep Throat, the inside
source for the Washington Post as the paper exposed the Nixon cover-up of the Watergate
break-in of June 1972. Haig helped South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu to
negotiate the final cease-fire talks in October 1972. Promoted to full 4 star general in
1972. Vice Chief of Staff of the Army January to May 1973. Nixon's White House Chief of

and Kissinger were named among those who stood in contact with this neo-fascist lodge that
fought the communist influence on the Italian government. U.S. Secretary of State
1981-1982. Reagan didn't like him, because Haig pushed his own policies too hard. During
the confusion after Ronald Reagan was shot by John Hinckley, Haig asserts at the White
House, "I'm in control here", forgetting about the Constitutional line of
succession. One of the more famous Haigisms from those days is "That's not a lie. It
is a terminological inexactitude". Visited the Trilateral Commission since at least
1982 (and until at least 1990) as a fellow of the Hudson Institute. In 1984 he was the
founder of the global consulting firm Worldwide Associates, Inc. and has headed it ever
since (seems to be a similar concept as Kissinger Associates). It has a strong focus on
the former Soviet Union and China and today it is run by the United Technologies
Corporation, to which Haig still is a senior advisor today. A 1991 Congressional report in
the aftermath of the BNL affair said about Haig's role in United Technologies: "neither
Paul nor Haig would comment on what Haig as doing for the company." A basic
description (the only thing available) about Worldwide Associates reads: "... the
company assists corporations in developing and implementing acquisition and marketing
strategies. It also provides advice on the domestic and international political, economic
and security environments and their effects on the global marketplace." Today's
managing director of Worldwide Associates is retired Army Colonel Sherwood D. Goldberg, a
civilian aide to the Secretary of the Army. He is about the only person besides Haig Sr.
and Jr. that has been identified as an employee of Worldwide Associates. Wrote the book
'Caveat: Realism, Reagan and Foreign Policy' in 1984. Ran unsuccessfully for the

| Mountbatten, Prince Philip |
|
Loyal McLaren (1972) writes about how Prince Philip
sought to visit the Grove: Before leaving London for a visit to California in November,
1962, Prince Philip wrote to Jack Merrill, an old friend and expressed a desire to visit
the Bohemian Grove... Since the weather was unpredictable at this time of the year; we
decided it would be safer to hold the party inside the grill and bar building... we
restricted the invitation to former presidents of the club, committee chairmen, and groups
of our highly talented entertainers... At luncheon... Charlie Kendrick delivered the
speech of welcome. However, the show was stolen by Prince Philip, who made a most amusing
but salty speech in keeping with the traditions of Bohemia. (p. 451) - 'Taken from A
Relative Advantage: Sociology of the San Francisco Bohemian Club', by Peter Martin
Phillips. Born in 1921 on the Isle of Corfu, Greece.
Parents were evacuated from Greece after a revolution and both became depressed (father)
or mentally instable (mother). Studied in Germany under Kurt Hahn and both came to
Scotland in 1933. Played polo in his youth, often against Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. Philip
is the Duke of Edinburgh, a Knight of the Order of the Garter, a Knight of the Order of
the Thistle, Grand Master and First or Principal Knight of the Order of the British
Empire, and was a prince of Greece and Denmark until he married. Patron or President of
814 organizations. His wife, Queen Elizabeth II is patron of the Pilgrims Society. Long
career in the navy from the start of WWII as a midshipsman to commanding his own frigate,
the HMS Magpie. William R. Denslow's 10,000 Famous Freemasons: "Philip was
initiated in Navy Lodge No. 2612 of London on Dec 5, 1952. Present at the initiation were
the Earl of Scarbrough, grand master, q.v., and Geoffrey Fisher, archbishop of
Canterbury." Philip is a Master Mason, never having shown great interest in the
organization, while his cousin, Prince Edward (b. 1935) is the grand master of the United
Grand Lodge. He and his wife set off for a tour of the Commonwealth, with visits to
Africa, Australia, and New Zealand in 1952. They went on to visit the remote parts of the
Commonwealth in 1956. Gordon Creighton, a Foreign Service official and Intelligence
officer, concluded his story about a reported 1960s UFO landing on the estate of Prince
Philip with: "So there had been a landing on the estate of Mountbatten and there
was Mountbatten's great interest." The entire testimony was made during an
interview with the Disclosure Project in September 2000. Prince Philip supposedly had a
drawer full of sketches and information on different types of UFOs. Philip co-founded the
WWF International in 1961 with Julian Huxley and Prince Bernhard. He has been the long
time president of WWF UK. Co-founded the 1001 Nature Trust and 1001 Club from 1971 to
1974, together with Anton Rupert and Prince Bernhard. Co-founded the Interfaith
consultations between Jews, Christians, and Muslims in 1984, together with Crown Prince
Hassan of Jordan and Sir Evelyn de Rothschild at Windsor castle. In August 1988, Prince
Philip said to the West German Deutsche Press Agentur: "In the event that I am
reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something
to solve overpopulation". He wrote something along similar lines in the foreword
of the 1987 book 'If I Were An Animal', written by Fleur Cowles. Philip was supposedly
hostile to Diana after she divorced Charles in 1996. Mohamed Al-Fayed claimed Prince
Philip had ordered Diana's murder who was killed in a car crash on August 31, 1997. Queen
Elizabeth II said to Diana's butler Paul Burrell in December 1997: "Nobody, Paul
has been as close to a member of my family as you have... There are powers at work in this
country about which we have no knowledge." She advised him to be cautious and to
lay low. Unlike his son, Charles, Philip supports genetically modified foods. On June 7,
2000, The Guardian quoted the Duke of Edinburgh as saying: "Do not let us forget
we have been genetically modifying animals and plants ever since people started selective
breeding." Philip is known to be the head of the family; what he says, generally
goes. He is still president emeritus of the WWF International. |

Owl's Nest |
Pauley made his fortune running oil companies from the
mid-1920s onward. He became involved with the Democratic Party as a fundraiser in 1930s,
eventually becoming treasurer of the Democratic National Committee. In the summer of 1944,
while treasurer of the DNC, Pauley was part of a group that persuaded Roosevelt to choose
Truman over Henry Wallace as the vice-presidential nominee. He later served as United
States representative to the Allied Reparations Committee from 1945-1947. In May 1946,
Pauley met with Herbert Hoover to discuss the impact of food relief on Japan's ability to
pay reparations. Pauley was en route to East Asia to discuss with General MacArthur the
Japanese situation in light of rising tensions with the Soviet Union. When Truman
nominated Pauley to be Undersecretary of the Navy in 1946, he was opposed by Secretary of
the Interior, Harold Ickes. Ickes held that Pauley's ties to oil interests was a clear
conflict of interest. Truman pressed ahead with the nomination, so Ickes resigned. This
effectively scuttled Pauley's nomination, and led him to return to working behind the
scenes in the Democratic Party. Pauley served in Truman's 'kitchen cabinet' and advised
Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. He also was an ardent supporter of UCLA, both as a regent
and as a financial donor. Pauley Pavilion is named for him. |

While practicing law in his native Youngstown, Ohio, he
served the San Francisco 49ers' front office in 1983 as vice president and general
counsel. By 1991 he had been promoted to president and chief executive officer. He played
a key role in all five of the 49ers' Super Bowl winning teams in 1982, '85, '89, '90 and
'95. He earned a reputation as one of the preeminent executives in professional sports
during his years as president and chief executive officer of the 49ers. Policy was a
member of the NFL Finance Committee and the Committee on Opportunities and Challenges.
Both The Sporting News and Pro Football Weekly named him NFL Executive of the Year in
1994, the latter award having been determined by a vote of NFL owners and executives. He
serves on the board of directors of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and expects to
maintain a high level of civic and charitable involvement in the Cleveland area. He holds
the prestigious Silver Cable Car Award from the San Francisco Convention and Visitors
Bureau and The Mayor's Fiscal Advisory Committee Award in recognition of his managerial
skills. Some have asked why Carmen Policy used to spent months at a time defending some of
the most notorious mobsters between New York and Chicago. Other questions are tougher.
Like why his name was mentioned repeatedly, and often cryptically, in secretly recorded
1980 conversations after mobsters laundered money through Policy's law partner. Or what
Policy might have known about alleged links between the gangsters he represented and one
of his biggest business clients. Or why so many of his business partners wind up in
trouble with the law. Policy will not answer these or any other questions about his past.
A Browns spokesman turned down a request for an interview, saying Policy does not have the

In 1989, Powell was promoted to four-star general,
becoming the first African American to hold that rank, and was named chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. He had an important role in planning the American invasion of Panama in
late 1989, and prior to the Persian Gulf War (1991) he played a crucial role in planning
and coordinating the victory of U.S. and allied forces. He declined to run for the U.S.
presidency in 1995, despite widespread encouragement to do so, and in 1997 became chairman
of America's Promise–the Alliance for Youth, a charitable organization formed to help
needy and at-risk U.S. children. Powell was appointed secretary of state by President
George W. Bush in 2001. He advocated the so-called Powell doctrine—that U.S. military
power only be used in overwhelming strength to achieve well-defined strategic national
interests—while promoting “a uniquely American internationalism,” and he
also showed a particular interest in African affairs. As secretary of state, however, his
influence on foreign policy issues was not as great as that of National Security Adviser
Condoleeza Rice (who succeeded him in 2005), Vice President Dick Cheney, and others.

1899: "The most noteworthy performance of the kind occurred in 1893 when Joseph
D. Redding, now a lawyer in New York, devised a beautiful spectacle, "The Cremation
of Care." Time Magazine in 1933: "Origin of the Grove plays goes back
to one Joseph D. Redding, San Francisco attorney who died last year. He proposed and wrote
the first play, The Man of the Forest. In 1911 his Natoma was set to music by Victor
Herbert, produced in Philadelphia with Mary Garden and John McCormack.' The best western
composers have contributed scores for the Grove plays and Bohemians aver that much
beautiful music is thereby lost to the world, as the plays are seldom given public
performance." Redding was respected as an attorney, musician, composer, chess
player, and scientist. Was very interested in marine life. |

| Rove, Karl |
|
In 1970, as a protégé of Donald Segretti (later
convicted as a Watergate conspirator), Karl Rove sneaked into the campaign office of
Illinois Democrat Alan Dixon and stole some letterhead, which he used to print fake
campaign rally fliers promising "free beer, free food, girls and a good time for
nothing," and distributed them at rock concerts and homeless shelters. Rove admitted
the incident years later, saying "I was nineteen and I got involved in a political
prank." Rove learned at age nineteen, during his parents' divorce, that the man who
raised him, a mineral geologist, was not his biological father. Rove's mother committed
suicide in Reno, Nevada, in 1981. Rove dropped out of the University of Utah in 1971 to
become the Executive Director of the College Republican National Committee and held this
position until 1972, when he became the National Chairman (1973-1974). In this role, Karl
Rove had access to powerful politicians and government officials of the Republican party,
and formed ties with George H. W. Bush, then Chairman of the Republican National Committee
(1973-1974). For the next few years, Rove worked in various Republican circles and
assisted George H. W. Bush's 1980 vice-presidential campaign. Rove is credited for
introducing Bush to Lee Atwater, who would go on to play a critical role in Bush's 1988
presidential campaign. Like Atwater, Karl Rove is well known for his effective campaign
tactics, employing push polls and frequently attacking an opponent on the opponent's
strongest issue. In 1981, Rove founded direct mail consulting firm, Karl Rove + Company,
based out of Austin, Texas. This firm's first clients included Republican Governor Bill
Clements and Democratic Congressman Phil Gramm, who later became a Republican Congressman
and United States Senator. In 1993, Rove began advising George W. Bush's gubernatorial
campaign. He continued, however, to operate his consulting business until 1999, when he
sold the firm to focus his efforts on Bush's bid for the presidency. In 1986, just before
a crucial debate in the election for governor of Texas, Karl Rove claimed that his office
had been bugged by the Democrats. The police and FBI investigated and discovered that
bug's battery was so small that it needed to be changed every few hours, and the
investigation was dropped. Critics alleged that Rove had bugged his own office to garner
sympathy votes in the close governor's race. Rove is thought to be behind misleading Swift
Boat Veterans for Truth television ads that quoted Kerry as saying U.S. military personnel
in Vietnam "had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads," "randomly
shot at civilians," and "razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis
Khan," without Kerry's qualification that he was reporting what others said at a
Vietnam veterans' conference, and not what Kerry had personally witnessed. Another ad from
SBVT accused Kerry of lying to win his Vietnam combat medals. George W. Bush called Rove
the "architect" of his 2004 Presidential Campaign in his 3 November 2004
acceptance speech. Rove has been accused of pulling many other dirty tricks over the
years. In March 2001, Rove met with executives from Intel, successfully advocating a
merger between a Dutch company and an Intel company supplier. Rove owned $100,000 in Intel
stock at the time. In June 2001, Rove met with two pharmaceutical industry lobbyists. At
the time, Rove held almost $250,000 in drug industry stocks. On 30 June 2001, Rove
divested his stocks in 23 companies, which included more than $100,000 in each of Enron,
Boeing, General Electric, and Pfizer. On 30 June 2001, the White House admitted that Rove
was involved in administration energy policy meetings, while at the same time holding
stock in energy companies including Enron. June 23, 2005, marked another controversial
statement from Rove. "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and
prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare
indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers," said Mr. Rove at
a fund-raiser in New York City for the Conservative Party of New York State. Presently
embroiled in controversy concerning his involvement in revealing the identity of CIA
employee Valerie Plame, allegedly in retaliation for her husband's criticisms of the
administration. |

| Shultz, George P. |
Mandalay |
Born December 13, 1920, in New York City, the son or Birl
E. and Margaret Pratt Shultz. Charles Pratt (1830-1891), Margaret's grandfather, became a
partner of John D. Rockefeller after merging his oil company with Standard Oil in 1874.
His son, Shultz's grandfather, Charles Millard Pratt (1858-1933), was treasurer of
Standard Oil and his widow bequeathed their New York mansion, the Charles Pratt House, to
the Council on Foreign Relations in 1945, which serves as its headquarters ever since.
Birl Earl Shultz (1883-1955), George's father, was a personnel director with the American
International Corporation and founded the New York Stock Exchange Institute (November 10,
1955, NY Times, obituary). B.A. degree in economics from Princeton University in 1942.
Attended Cap & Gown events, according to Kay Griggs, just as Allen Dulles, Donald
Rumsfeld, William Colby, Frank Carlucci, James Baker, and George Griggs (August 3, 2005,
Rense). U.S. Marine Corps 1942-1945, attaining the rank of Captain. Faculty member at MIT
1946-1947. At MIT, according to several accounts, Shultz teamed up with the German social
engineer Kurt Lewin, who was setting up a psychological research institute there (died in
1947). Lewin emigrated from Germany to the US in 1932 and is said to have been a leading
member of the Tavistock Institute (at the very least he served as a source of inspiration
to many of their psychiatrists). Taught in both the MIT Department of Economics and the
MIT Sloan School of Management 1948-1957. Earned a Ph.D. from MIT in industrial economics
in 1949. Chairman of MIT's Industrial Relations Division 1954-1957. Leave of absence in
1955 to serve on President Dwight Eisenhower's Council of Economic Advisers as a senior
staff economist. Joined the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business as professor
of industrial relations in 1957 and served as dean of the school from 1962 to 1968.
Involved in Nixon's election campaign of 1968. Nixon's Secretary of Labor 1969-1970. One
of the main organizers of the US-USSR Trade and Economic Council in 1972. Nixon's
Secretary of the Treasury 1972-1974. It was during this period that Schultz, along with
Paul Volcker and Arthur Burns, supported the decision of the Nixon administration to end
the gold standard and the Bretton Woods system. Shultz also regularly played golf with
Stephen Bechtel Jr. at Burning Tree. President and director of the Bechtel Group
1974-1982, a privately-held huge construction company strongly linked to the intelligence
agencies. Also acted as president of the Bechtel Foundation. Ran Ronald Reagan's election

of the United States. On Oct. 25, 1984, speaking at the Park Avenue Synagogue in New York,
Shultz delivered remarks calling for the U.S. to adopt a preemptive first-strike policy,
such was implemented 20 years later by the Bush-Cheney administration. According to John
Perkins, former chief economist and "economic hitman", Shultz functioned as the
heir to Robert Strange McNamara (1001 Club) as one of the top figures in the new imperial
pyramid of power, which employed the structure of economic hitmen to bleed and crush
nations. Examples are the Philippines' Ferdinand Marcos in 1986, and such as the various
attacks on Panama, culminating in the 1989 invasion. Then-Secretary of State Shultz had
spoken one day earlier, Sept. 30, threatening the nations present that they had better
stay in line, and pay their debts to the IMF. As Secretary of State, he automatically
became a honorary member of the Pilgrims Society and gave at least one speech to this club
in 1985. In August 1988, while travelling from the airport to La Paz, Bolivia, Shultz's
motorcade was bombed, supposedly by drug dealers. There was only material damage. In 1989
he rejoined Bechtel as a director and senior counselor (he still is anno 2005). Director
at Gilead Sciences since 1996. Director Fremont Group, Inc. (owned by the Bechtel
corporation) and the Charles Schwab Corporation. Chairman of Accenture's Energy Advisory
Board. Former member of the Advisory Council of Forstmann Little & Co. (Henry
Kissinger, Colin Powell, and Donald Rumsfeld have been other members). Has visited the
Trilateral Commission in the 1990s. Teamed up with George Soros in 1998 to promote a
series of referenda to legalize narcotics. According to author James Mann, who wrote the
Rise of the Vulcans book about Bush's inner Cabinet, Shultz initiated a discussion with
George W. in the Spring of 1998, whereby the future President sat down in Shultz's living
room on the Stanford University campus, in order to see if he would be the right man for
the presidency. At that meeting were Martin Anderson, the former advisor to both Richard
Nixon and Ronald Reagan; Abraham Sofaer, a former Shultz aide; John Cogan and John Taylor,
two economics professors; and Stanford's provost, and Shultz protege, Condoleezza Rice.
After the scholars associated with the Hoover Institution indicated that they thought Bush
would make a good Presidential choice, Bush invited Shultz, Rice, and Anderson down to
Austin, Texas for a follow-up meeting in the Summer. Out of that meeting, which was joined
by Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz, came the public decision for Bush to run for President.
Soon Richard Perle and Dov Zakheim were holding Monday morning conference calls with Bush.
Bush W. became president in 2000, selecting the above individuals as his primary staff
members. Initial member of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq in 2002, a year before
that country was invaded. Co-chairman of the economic taskforce for California
gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2003. Co-chairman of the Commonwealth

advisor to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (together with Alexander Haig,

Wolfowitz). Honorary director of the Institute for International Economics (headed by
Peter G. Peterson. Other directors are Paul Volcker, Maurice R. Greenberg, and David
Rockefellers). Member of the Hoover Institution and the American Enterprise Institute New

diplomat to Israel, the Far East, and the secretary-general of the UN, who now holds
positions at Yale and Stanford. Shultz has been a long time associate of Henry Kissinger. |

| Skinner, David .E. |
|
David "Ned" Skinner took over Alaska Steamship
after the death of his father, G. W. Skinner, in 1953. Increased competition from
state-subsidized ferries and barge operations had put the company into a decline and
Skinner had to close it in 1971, a major disappointment in his business life. But as head
of the Skinner Corporation, Ned branched out into real estate (the Skinner Building and
5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle, Carillon Point in Kirkland), Pepsi-Cola bottling, and NC
Machinery tractor sales. By 1988, the Skinner Corporation was the 10th largest privately
held corporation in the U.S. In 1960, Skinner joined with other investors to form the
Pentagram Corporation to build the Space Needle, a futuristic, 605-foot tower and
revolving restaurant that would become the icon for the Century 21 Seattle World’s
Fair and for Seattle itself. The 1962 World’s Fair marked the shift in Seattle from
"provincial backwater into a genuinely cosmopolitan port city" (Crowley).
Skinner is said to have raised more than $5 million for the fair and was prepared to take
a loss on his own investment if it raised Seattle’s profile in the world. Skinner sat
on the boards of the Boeing Company, Safeco, Pacific Northwest Bell, Pacific National
Bank, and actively guided corporate policy. Skinner died of cancer in 1988. |

| Sterling, George |
|
In 1892, Sterling, a real estate speculator, met the
dominant literary figure on the west coast, Ambrose Bierce, at Lake Temescal and
immediately fell under his spell. Bierce -- to whom Sterling referred as "the
Master" -- guided the young poet in his writing as well as in his reading, pointing
to the classics as model and inspiration. Sterling also met adventure and science fiction
writer Jack London. Sterling also maintained a room at the Bohemian Club in San Francisco,
to whose exclusive fold Bierce had given him entrée. This Club (founded in 1872, it was
the first in the U.S.) sponsored summer outings on the Russian River, north of San
Francisco, which were called "High Jinks" and were attended by Sterling, London,
Stewart Edward White, and many others. Sterling wrote and directed a number of plays for
these events, including 'The Triumph of Bohemia: A Forest Play' and 'Truth; A Grove Play'. |

| Twain, Mark |
|
Also a Pilgrims Society member. Mark Twain (pseudonym of
Samuel Langhorne Clemens) was an American writer, journalist and humorist, who won a
worldwide audience for his stories of the youthful adventures of Tom Sawyer and
Huckleberry Finn. Clemens was born on November 30, 1835 in Florida, Missouri, of a
Virginian family. He was brought up in Hannibal, Missouri. After his father's death in
1847, he was apprenticed to a printer and wrote for his brother's newspaper. He later
worked as a licensed Mississippi river-boat pilot. The Civil War put an end to the
steamboat traffic and Clemens moved to Virginia City, where he edited the Territorial
Enterprise. On February 3, 1863, 'Mark Twain' was born when Clemens signed a humorous
travel account with that pseudonym. In 1864 Twain left for California, and worked in San
Francisco as a reporter. He visited Hawaii as a correspondent for The Sacramento Union,
publishing letters on his trip and giving lectures. He set out on a world tour, traveling
in France and Italy. His experiences were recorded in 1869 in The Innocents Abroad, which
gained him wide popularity, and poked fun at both American and European prejudices and
manners. The success as a writer gave Twain enough financial security to marry Olivia
Langdon in 1870. They moved next year to Hartford. Twain continued to lecture in the
United States and England. Between 1876 and 1884 he published several masterpieces, Tom
Sawyer (1881) and The Prince And The Pauper (1881). Life On The Mississippi appeared in
1883 and Huckleberry Finn in 1884. In the 1890s Twain lost most of his earnings in
financial speculations and in the failure of his own publishing firm. To recover from the
bankruptcy, he started a world lecture tour, during which one of his daughters died. Twain
toured New Zealand, Australia, India, and South Africa. He wrote such books as The Tragedy
Of Pudd'head Wilson (1884), Personal Recollections Of Joan Of Arc (1885), A Connecticut
Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and the travel book Following The Equator (1897).
During his long writing career, Twain also produced a considerable number of essays. The
death of his wife and his second daughter darkened the author's later years, which is seen
in his posthumously published autobiography (1924). Mark Twain was present at a February
1908 Pilgrim dinner in New York, as reported by the New York Times (The newspaper wrote a
huge amount of articles about him). |

| Walters, Vernon |
|
General Walters occupied a front- row seat at an array of
historic events in the post-World War II era, as a translator, adviser, administrator and
diplomat. He spoke seven or eight languages, five of them fluently, and served part time
as an interpreter to five presidents. Vernon Anthony Walters was born in New York City on
January 3, 1917, and attended Stonyhurst College in England. He joined the United States
Army in 1941, and served in North Africa and Italy during World War II, retiring in 1976
as a Lieutenant General. From 1955 to 1960, he was a staff assistant to President
Eisenhower, acting as interpreter for the President, Vice President and senior diplomatic
and military officials. Appointed by President Nixon, General Walters was deputy chief of
the C.I.A. from 1972 to 1976. Just weeks after Mr. Nixon sent him to the agency, the White
House tried to involve the C.I.A. in the Watergate scandal that eventually forced Mr.
Nixon's resignation. According to later Congressional testimony by John W. Dean 3d, the
President's counsel at the time, Mr. Nixon had picked General Walters for the job in order
to have a "good friend" in the intelligence agency. Two Nixon aides, H. R.
Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman, asked General Walters to caution the Federal Bureau of
Investigation to limit its inquiries lest they compromise C.I.A. operations. "It
simply did not occur to me that the chief of staff of the President might be asking me
something that was illegal or wrong," Mr. Walters wrote in his memoir. But on orders
from his superior, Richard M. Helms, the director of central intelligence, the general
rescinded his advisory to the F.B.I. According to General Walters, Mr. Dean subsequently
asked him repeatedly to pay off the Watergate burglars with secret C.I.A. funds, but he
refused to do so and threatened to resign publicly if there was one more such call. In
1981, President Reagan offered General Walters the job of roving ambassador, which he
accepted. Finally, he served as ambassador to the United Nations from 1985 to 1988, and as
ambassador to West Germany from 1989 to 1991. He had many opportunities in his career to
witness the making of history. He was W. Averell Harriman's aide in the early years of the
cold war, accompanied President Truman to a meeting with an insubordinate General Douglas
MacArthur during the Korean War and shuttled with President Eisenhower to a series of
summit meetings, held in Geneva and White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, among other
places. As translator for Vice President Nixon during his good-will tour of Latin America
in 1958, General Walters was cut in the mouth by broken glass when a mob stoned their car
in Caracas. Later, as a military attaché in Paris, General Walters is remembered for
borrowing the private plane of President Georges Pompidou to smuggle Henry A. Kissinger in
and out of France for clandestine meetings with Le Duc Tho of North Vietnam."He
was great as our James Bond, getting us in and out secretly, even giving us code
names," said Winston Lord, former president of the Council on Foreign Relations,
who accompanied Mr. Kissinger to the secret talks with the Vietnamese. General Walters, a
bachelor, leaves no immediate survivors. Walters was a Knight of Malta. |

Mandalay |
Eldest son of Thomas J. Watson, the founder of IBM, known
to have struggled throughout his life with depression, earned a business degree from Brown
University in 1937, and worked a few years as an IBM salesman. In May of 1956 Watson Jr.
was named CEO of the company. Only six weeks later his father died. Thomas Jr. took the
single biggest risk in IBM's history when he decided to make all of its previous computer
software (and hardware, for that matter) obsolete, by developing a uniform range of new
IBM mainframe computers. The new machines were compatible within the range—i.e., they
could run the same software and use the same peripherals—but incompatible with the
former mainframes. The new series, called the System/360, almost completely bankrupted the
entire company; its highly successful launch in 1964 was called by Fortune magazine
"IBM's $5 Billion Gamble". That same year, because of this success, Dwight D.
Eisenhower at the New York World's Fair awarded Thomas J. Watson Jr. the Medal of Freedom,
the highest award a U.S. President can bestow on a civilian. Watson was CEO of IBM from
1956 to 1971 and became a US ambassador to the Soviet Union 1979-1981. He also was a
trustee of the China Institute and was called by Fortune Magazine “the most
successful capitalist who ever lived” (1976) He was a member of the Pilgrims Society,
the 1001 Club, and the Council on Foreign Relations. |

| White, Stewart Edward |
|
Author who published a number of books of
"channeled'' material. Born March 12, 1873, at Grand Rapids, Michigan, he studied at
the University of Michigan (Ph.D., 1895; M.A., 1903). In 1904 he married Elizabeth (Betty)
Grant, and they settled in California where he became well known as an author of many
books, articles, and short stories dealing with his experiences around the state in mining
and lumber camps, and on exploration trips. In March, 1918, Betty and Stewart Edward White
had their first experience with the spirit world. At a party with friends, the Ouija
board, being used as a parlor game, spelled the name "Betty" over and over
again. When Betty took over the pointer, it spelled out a number of messages, including
the advice to try "automatic writing." For over a year Betty and Stewart
experimented with "automatic writing," receiving a number of messages which
proved evidential. Betty was slowly led into another method in which she entered a higher
state of consciousness, speaking in her own voice or the voice of another entity. The
entities communicating through Betty declined to be identified, wishing to remain
anonymous, and thus were named "the Invisibles" by the the Whites. "The
Invisibles" led her into another, higher world, teaching her to create a new
identity. Stewart recorded the messages and experiences which Betty reported in her higher
state of consciousness. "The Invisibles" indicated that they were not only
teaching Betty to enter a higher world of spiritual consciousness but were interested in
teaching all humans how to enter this world. Betty and Stewart White continued the
sessions with "the Invisibles" from 1919 to 1936. Having waited for seventeen
years, they finally decided to publish their first book outlining their adventures in
learning about and entering the higher spiritual world. |
