	Hughes Tool Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hughes Aircraft thrived on wartime contracts during World War II (though not on the only two contracts it recieved to actually build airplanes), and by the early 1950's was one of America's largest defense contractors and aerospace companies with revenues far outpacing the original oil tools business.
		In 1953 Hughes Aircraft became a separate company, and was donated to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute as its endowment.
		This became the "new" Hughes Tool Company while the remaining parts of the business were placed in a new holding company, the Summa Corporation.

	Hughes, David Ralph
		Hughes swiftly became known world wide for his pioneering in the use of the new tools, inventing grass roots neighborhood systems that empowered ordinary small business, small organizations, and small and remote towns with global connectivity.
		During this period Hughes, extremely concerned that American education, particularly early education K-12 in remote and rural areas adapt to the new modes of teaching and learning, focused part of his effort on developing modes of distance education - again decades before it was being practiced by universities.
		Hughes words were circulated so widely that media, from the New York Times, Baltimore Sun, Rocky Mountain News, and CBS Television interviewed him, and he in turn pointed them to others who should be interviewed.

		Scarface (1932) was censored until Hughes sued to allow its release, and The Outlaw (1941) became controversial for its sexually explicit advertising and content, both featuring a sensational décolletage worn by a busty Jane Russell.
		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.

	DG Nomination Letter 11/03/2000
		Hughes was able to alert commanders and to issue instructions on his own so that the incident ended with the Panthers leaving post and no one hurt.
		Hughes was flown to Europe to lecture at several division headquarters on the successful programs of Fort Carson that were rooted deeply in an understanding of the American character, and how mechanisms to reach consensus by democratic means could be adapted to the Army, while not compromising the chain of command.
		Hughes, using the insights he had gained in the Army on the social-economic-technological-cultural changes and trends that were on the horizon, undertook on his own and as a volunteer to offer the city a wholly original economic revitalization strategy.

	Evergreen Air Venture Museum
		The Hughes Flying Boat was to be the biggest airplane ever built and probably the most prodigious aviation project of all time.
		Hughes and his team accomplished all of this working with "nonessential" materials, building a wood aircraft, mostly birch not spruce, that even many of his colleagues dismissed as impossible.
		Evergreen Air Venture Museum is a non-profit, tax-exempt, educational and scientific organization chartered in Oregon State for the purpose of preserving and displaying historic flight artifacts and communicating the history of flight and aviation technology.

	HistoryLink Essay: Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Part 3 -- Boeing Bust to Deregulation (1970s)
		During the early 1970s, the post-war climb in air travel suddenly stalled, triggering a national aerospace recession known locally as the Boeing Bust.
		The terminal itself was expanded to 35 passenger gates with the extension of Concourse C. Satellite terminals were added north and south of the main building, which passengers reached via a pair of subway loops equipped with driverless automatic shuttle trains.
		Air travel plummeted, and airlines tightened their financial seat belts.

		So, against this backdrop, Howard Hughes skulked into Vegas late one night from L.A. He had been buying up stuff in the Vegas Valley for a while, and the rumor at the time was that he wanted to build a monorail connecting L.A. to Vegas to bring in the weekend gamblers.
		Perfect, if Hughes had still lived in L.A., but we were in Vegas, and the monorail idea had been shelved in favor of owning everything else in the state.
		This went on for a year or so, until I got reassigned in the Air Force and had to quit, while Howard departed Vegas in the middle of the night for Nicaragua (where there wasn't much TV of any kind, so presumably instead of watching that he just watched his fingernails grow).
