Handsome, wavy-haired Julian Frank was a lawyer. He lived with his beautiful wife and two small children in exurbanite Westport, Conn., commuted to his small office in Manhattan. Fellow commuters recall that he was a first-rate bridge player but a loud, boastful sort of fellow (says one acquaintance: "He gave me the impression of being a young man in a hurry-ambitious, driving, smart").

Today the rocket plant's employees number more than 3,000, flood Brigham City's roads with traffic and its schools with children. Ranch-style homes for engineers, chemists, physicists and mathematicians are spreading into the beet...
