	Howard Hughes Medical Institute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is a United States non-profit medical research institute based in Chevy Chase, Maryland and originally founded by the aviator and engineer Howard Hughes in 1953.
		Hughes was the sole trustee of HHMI and transferred all his stock of Hughes Aircraft to the institute, in effect turning the large defense contractor into a tax-exempt charity.
		In fact it was not until after Hughes' death in 1976 that the Institute's profile increased from an annual budget of $4 million in 1975 to $15 million by 1978.

	Howard Hughes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hughes became addicted to codeine (injections), valium, and other painkillers, was extremely frail, stored his urine in jars and wore Kleenex boxes as shoes (although it has been reported that Hughes did this only once, as "protection" when a toilet flooded).
		Hughes had contracted syphilis as a young man, and much of the strange behavior at the end of his life has been attributed by modern biographers to the tertiary stage of that disease.
		Howard Hughes is interred in the Glenwood Cemetery in Houston, Texas.

		It was in the '30s that Hughes built the Texas Theater, the movie house in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas in which Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested in 1963.
		Whatever the purpose of the break-in, Hughes was right in the middle of the major forces linking the conspiracies that resulted in the murders and character assassinations of the Kennedy brothers, and the Watergate scandal that toppled the Nixon administration.
		Hughes Aircraft ended up in the hands of Hughes Medical Institute, which sold it to General Motors in 1985 for $5 billion.

	HHMI: Scientists & Research
		In creating the Institute, Hughes made certain that its aspirations were bold — its purpose, he said, was "to probe the genesis of life itself."
		By appointing scientists as Hughes investigators — rather than awarding research grants — HHMI is guided by the principle of "people, not projects." The Institute solicits nominations from these institutions, with the aim of identifying researchers who have the potential to make significant contributions to science.
		Once selected, they continue to be based at their institutions, typically leading a research group of 10-25 students, postdoctoral associates and technicians, but become Institute employees and are supported by field staff throughout the country.

		Hughes died more than a quarter-century ago, but as Correspondent Lesley Stahl first reported last year, his vast fortune is still making a powerful impact on the world.
		Hughes died without a will in 1976, and the Institute was mired in years of litigation.
		As the Institute supports more and more explorations like Melton's, history may begin to remember Howard Hughes differently, not just as a bizarre billionaire, or just as a pilot and a playboy, but as a great, if accidental, patron of science.
