Helping to speed the Browns on their ascent are the Rockefeller, Rosenwald, Carnegie, Peabody, Slater, Jeanes, Phelps-Stokes, du Pont and Duke philanthropic foundations. Each foundation develops some function of the Browns' wellbeing.

Supreme Court voted the Minnesota "gag law" unconstitutional by such a small margin as 5 to 4 (TIME, June 8 et ante).
