	Howard Hughes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hughes was called to testify before the Senate War Investigating Committee to explain why the plane had not been delivered to the United States Air Force during the war, but the committee disbanded without releasing a final report.
		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 the Innovator
		Hughes Aircraft had no background with flying boats of any size, but Howard Hughes nevertheless proposed not just to build this behemoth but to draw on his experience with the D-2 by crafting it of wood.
		Hughes spent much of the allotted funds with little to show for it, and the government responded by moving to cancel his contract.
		If Hughes Aircraft was ever to amount to anything in its own right, he would have to build it up on merit in the face of a severe contraction in the aviation market.

		Hughes financed three films of varying quality (one of them won an Academy Award for director Lewis Milestone) before undertaking an epic movie about Royal Air Force fighter pilots in World War I. The film was "Hell’s Angels," which Hughes came to direct as well as produce.
		Hughes was in the thick of it, but unlike other aircraft entrepreneurs, he preferred spending his time in a cockpit rather than a boardroom.
		Although Hughes managed to attend to business and had many periods of lucidity (he held a telephone conference call with reporters in 1972 to repudiate a book by Clifford Irving purporting to be Hughes’ taped reminiscences), his physical health had turned precarious.

		This bit's ancestor, the two-cone rotary rock drill bit, was invented by Howard Robard Hughes, Sr., an Iowa boy who drifted to Southeast Texas in the wake of the Spindletop discovery and started a drilling company in 1902 in partnership with a man named Walter Sharp.
		The secret of Hughes Tool's success was that everybody who drills an oil well wants the best possible bit -- running a rig is extremely expensive ($250 or more an hour), and the better the bit, the faster it goes.
		In 1972 he took the tool company public and made $150 million in cash the day it went on sale.

		The unanimous decision ending nearly fifty years of Jim Crow unionism at the company marked the first ruling in the Labor Board's history that racial discrimination by a union violated the National Labor Relations Act and was therefore illegal.
		His analysis clearly demonstrates that without federal intervention, workers at Hughes Tool would never have been able to overcome management's opposition to unionization and to racial equality.
		Botson uses the case study of Hughes Tool to examine the confluence of two of the great social movements in twentieth century American history, the struggle for independent unions and the struggle for civil rights.
