Is it possible that we can use it on Wikipedia since it seems to be the only publicly available picture of Prof. Monroe Donsker?

Of course he will always be remembered for the Fulbright Scholarships, but I also remember that he used to regularly give an award for government wastefulness (I think Fulbright was the one who discovered that the Pentagon was paying $500 for a hammer.). Anyway, Walter Cronkite would always give air time to Senator Fulbright's embarrassing award, and I'm sure the senator saved American taxpayers millions and millions of dollars. If only his caliber were in Wahington, D. C. today!Mark D.

The money for the Fulbright programme in the beginning was raised from the scrapping of WWII redundant weapons.

The Fulbright Scholarship programme has, in our view, done so much for young people, especially in encouraging good international relations.<br /><br />Gosh, on honeymoon at 85...now that is really something.
