Perot chartered two planes and with his cargo
set off for Hanoi in December 1969. lie was never
allowed to land there, despite his personal pleas
to North Vietnamese diplomats in Bangkok and
Vientiane and even, by telephone, to Soviet party
chief Leonid Brezhnev. Nor were Perot's later at-
tempts successful. In January 1970 he offered
$100,000,000 as ransom for the prisoners, but the
offer was ignored. Three months later he flew with
many prisoners' wives to Vientiane and to Paris in
a vain attempt to meet with North Vietnamese
officials to discuss release of the prisoners. Late in
1970 he planned another Christmas trip to Ilanoi,
but was foiled when the Soviet airliners lie char-
tered canceled the flight.
Ostensibly his missions have been failures, but
Perot contends that they have had the following
salutary effects: they woke the American people
to the plight of the prisoners; put the fate of the
POW's on the agenda of the Paris peace talks;
made the North Vietnamese more humane in their
treatment; and increased the flow of mail to the
prisoners and the number and size of the packages
they are allowed to receive.
Despite his personal opinions about Vietnam
policy, Perot does not condemn war protesters.
"It's the ones who haven't committed themselves
[on the war issue] who have given aid and com-
fort to the North Vietnamese," he told Christopher
S. Wren of Look (March 24, 1970). To stimulate
a sense of participatory democracy in more citi-
zens, Perot has long cherished the idea of estab-
lishing what he calls an "electronic town hall,"
consisting of network television programs devoted
to bipartisan discussion of national issues. Viewer
opinions would be elicited, compiled by computer,
and made available to legislators.
Perot's adventures in public service have in-
spired speculation about possible political motives
on his part, but he scoffs at the suggestion that he
might be interested in seeking political office. In
an interview with William McAda of the New
York Sunday News (February 22, 1970) he de-
clared: "I would make a very bad politician. I have
no patience for the red tape and inactivity." Ile
is also regarded in some circles as an agent of the
Nixon Administration. Indeed, he was a substantial
contributor to the President's 1968 campaign; he
allowed a number of his employees to take sab-
baticals to work in the campaign; and he is an old
friend of Attorney General John Mitchell. But he
claims that he is a "nonextremist," aligned with
neither Democrats nor Republicans, and that his
United We Stand project would have backed
Humphrey's policies had he been elected President.
There seems to be no evidence that Perot has re-
ceived any encouragement for his prisoner-of-war
crusade from Washington beyond the expediting
of visas and other such routine cooperation. As
one administration official told Kent Biffle of News-
week (April 13, 1970), "The [State] Department
looks on him as a rich but eccentric uncle. One
may secretly admire his eccentricity, but one
doesn't want to get too close for fear of what he
might do next.
An unabashed moralist of the old school, H. Ross
Perot makes clear to all new E.D.S. employees that
marital infidelity will mean summary dismissal. He
does not insist that his employees emulate his
abstinence from liquor and cigarettes, but he does
require male employees to dress as he does, in
conservative dark suits and white shirts, and even
messenger boys must wear a tie. The byword of
the company is efficiency: supervisors are trained
to look for and remedy any waste of time or mo-
tion. Perot is a small, wiry man, five feet six inches
tall and weighing 130 pounds, who wears his
blond hair close-cropped. Modest in his tastes, he
buys his suits from the rack, drives a five-year-old
Lincoln, and dines on cheeseburgers as often as on
steaks. Since 1956 he has been married to the
former Margot Birmingham. Mr. and Mrs. Perot
and their four children-three daughters and Ross
Jr.-live comfortably but unostentatiously in an ex-
clusive suburb of north Dallas. Perot regards his
family as central in his life and scrupulously keeps
his wife and children out of the public eye. "If
I could do one thing, I would try to construct a
strong family unit for every family [in the United
States] on the basis of love, understanding and
encouragement," the millionaire philanthropist told
William McAda in the Sunday News interview.
"All the other problems then would disappear."

PLUNKETT, JIM
Dec. 5, 1947- Football player
Address: b. New England Patriots Football Club,
78 Lansdowne St., Boston, Mass. 02215
In the 1971 professional draft of college players the
New England Patriots of the American Conference
of the National Football League got the prime
choice, Heisman Trophy winner Jim Plunkett, Stan-
ford University's slinging quarterback. Plunkett led
the Stanford Indians, previously a feckless, middling
team, to a three-year record of 22 wins, 8 losses, and
2 ties, climaxed by victory in the Rose Bowl. In
the process he established himself in third place in
all-time rankings of major-college passers and set a
new career mark in total offense in the National
Collegiate Athletic Association.
The strapping Plunkett has an overarm delivery
that makes interception difficult, and his powerful
thrusts are deadly accurate up to sixty yards and
effective, on occasion, up to ninety-six yards. In ad-
dition, he has speed and agility in shaking tacklers,
a strong will to win, a keen eye for anticipating
defensive moves, and a poise that enables him to

While serving aboard the Leyte, Perot had been
invited by a visiting executive from the Interna-
tional Business Machines Corporation to look him
up after his discharge. Perot did so, and obtained
a job selling computers in Dallas. In his fifth year
with I.B.M. he sold his year's quota in the first
three weeks of January, and his initiative was re-
warded with it desk job in the corporation's Dallas
office. While in that job lie came across Henry
David Thoreau's observation, "The mass of men
lead lives of quiet desperation," and he took it as
a personal warning that he must not allow his
initiative and individuality to be stifled in a cor-
poration trap. When I.B.M. offered him an admin-
istrative position in White Plains, New York, he
decided to quit and strike out on his own.
While working for I.B.M., Perot had observed
that companies leasing hardware from the corpora-
tion often had trouble learning how to utilize it.
He decided that there was need for a service or-
ganization that would design, install, and operate
electronic data processing systems for clients on
a contract basis. On his thirty-second birthday,
June 27, 1962, lie founded Electronic Data Sys-
tems with $1,000 in savings and with his wife, his
sister, and his mother as charter directors. Deter-
mined not to go into debt buying capital equip-
ment, he initially used a computer owned by a
Dallas insurance company, buying unused time on
it at wholesale rates and then selling it retail to
another firm. His staff, at first consisting of himself
and a secretary, wags soon expanded to include two
former I.B.M. salesmen and an ex-I.B.M. systems
engineer. All three are now multimillionaire vice-
presidents of E.D.S. The first customers serviced
by E.D.S. were insurance firms, and medical in-
surance claims have continued to provide the bulk
of the company's business.
During the 1960's, E.D.S. doubled its business
annually, branch offices sprang tip in major cities
throughout the United States, and the number of
employees grew to 1,700. When Perot decided it
was time for his company to go public, in 1968,
he handled the stock offering as shrewdly as he
had built tip the firm. First lie recapitalized E.D.S.
so that nearly 12,000,000 shares were in existence,
each with a par value of 20?. Of the new shares,
however, he offered only 650,000 for sale, and he
shopped carefully among Wall Street underwriters
for the firm that would guarantee the highest price.
Ile finally chose R. W. Presspich and Company,
which brought out E.D.S. at $16.50 a share, rep-
resenting a near record price-to-earnings ratio of
118 to one. At the close of trading the first day,
September 12, 1968, E.D.S. was selling at $23
a share. Since Perot had kept more than 9,000,000
shares for himself, his net worth at sunset was
over $200,000,000. By the first week of October,
E.D.S. stock was quoted at $33, and at the height
of the bull market in 1969-70 it hovered around
$150, making Perot, on paper at least, a billionaire.
In frantic over-the-counter trading on April 22,
1970, the value of E.D.S. stock dropped to $100
a share, causing Perot a paper loss of almost half
a billion dollars. But Perot has a detached at-
titude toward his wealth. "The day I made Eagle
Scout was more important to me than the day
I discovered I was it billionaire," he once told a
reporter. Uninterested in a life of personal luxury
and determined not to leave his children so much
money as to deprive them of the same chance at
personal initiative that he had, he directs his money
toward projects that he considers deserving. One
such is the United States government, to which he
pays taxes even on the tax-exempt money he puts
into the Perot Foundation, the nonprofit corporation
lie established in April 19(19 to handle his philan-
thropies. Among the foundation's beneficiaries are
the Dallas public school system, which is receiving
$2,500,000 over a three-year period, two-thirds of
it for it ghetto elementary school, in addition to
$72,000 for a high school leadership program; the
Boy Scouts of Dallas, who are receiving $1,000,000
to help them extend their work to black and Mex-
ican youth; and a Dallas Roman Catholic high
school, which is receiving $150,000 because Perot,
a Presbyterian, heard that it was a good school.
But Perot's most publicized project has been his
effort to free United States prisoners of war in
North Vietnam, an effort that has cost him an esti-
mated $2,000,000. That crusade began in the fall
of 1969, when the wives of four POW's wanting
to go to Paris to ask North Vietnamese officials
there for news of their husbands petitioned Perot
to subsidize the. trip. Ile did so, and the four wom-
en went to Paris, to no avail. The matter might
have ended there, but the Texas philanthropist,
deeply touched by the plight of the prisoners and
their families, directed it team of E.D.S. experts to
devise a campaign to help the prisoners.
The E.D.S. group quickly set tip an organization
called United We Stand, which spent $1,000,000
on newspaper and television advertising to pub-
licize the POW problem and to urge public sup-
port of President Nixon 's Vietnam policies. (In
Perot's opinion, the fastest way out of Vietnam is
for United States citizens to unite behind the gov-
ernment.) Within a few weeks United We. Stand
had collected twenty-six tons of mail, food, clothes,
and medicine for the Americans held in North
Vietnam.

Fitzgerald. Photographs of Maugham, Joyce, and
the late C. S. Lobrano, his favorite editor at the
New Yorker, and a watercolor by Stuart Davis
adorn the wall of his workroom. Among his favor-
ite motion pictures are those of W. C. Fields.
Brooks Atkinson once described S. J. Perelman
as "a slight, immaculately groomed gentleman
with a doleful look," and another observer has
called his look "owlish." Perelman wears a neat
mustache and a pair of oval, steel-rimmed glasses
that he picked up in Paris in 1927. In general ap-
pearance he is tweedy but dapper, as elegant in
his choice of wardrobe as he is in his choice of
words. While he is soft-spoken and reserved in
manner, those who know him testify that lie is
"a full-time wit" who converses in "multiple fas-
cinating directions." Perelman has two children,
Adam and Abby Laura. Pointing out that he is
not "a happy laughing kid" but a "crank," the
humorist has said: "I'm highly irritable and my
senses bruise easily, and when they are bruised
I write."

Self-made Texas multimillionaire II. Ross Perot,
a paragon of the Protestant ethic, has dazzled
Wall Street with his business acumen and cap-
tured headlines with his patriotic zeal in behalf of
United States prisoners of war in North Vietnam.
Perot's fortune is based on his near total owner-
ship of the Electronic Data Systems Corporation,
a rapidly expanding computer service company
that he founded in Dallas in 1962. Through one
of the sharpest underwriting deals in financial his-
tory, Perot became a billionaire within a few
months of offering a small portion of E.D.S. stock
to the public in September 1968. Wall Street va-
garies have since reduced his resources somewhat
but not his determination to spend them on proj-
ects that he believes in. Far from the stereotype
of the Texas right-winger, Perot espouses an es-
sentially nonpolitical faith in initiative, hard work,
old-fashioned reverence for home, country, and
religion, and a profound disdain for bureaucracy.
Although his philanthropies have included large
contributions to the Boy Scouts and to ghetto pub-
322 CURRENT BIOGRAPHY 1971
lie schools, he is best known for his ventures into
international diploni acy to aid the American
l'()W's, and especially for his unsuccessful attempt
to fly to Ilanoi in December 1969 with Christmas
packages for the prisoners. In the world of finance
Perot's most recent coup was his takeover of F. I.
(lit Pont, Glore Forgan and Company, New York's
third largest brokerage house.
Henry Ross Perot was born on June 27, 1930
in the east Texas city of Texarkana. His father,
now deceased, was Gabriel Ross Perot, a cotton
broker and part-time horse trader who kept his
family living fairly comfortably in a three-bedroom
red-brick house in Texarkana. "Dad's business was
talked morning, noon, and night in that house,"
Bette Perot, the millionaire's sister and director of
his private foundation, told Terence Shea of the
National Observer (September 14, 1970). "Dad
was a real trader, and Ross learned many lessons
just listening. Ile absorbed everything."
When lie was six Perot went to work for his
father, breaking horses to the saddle for a dollar
or two apiece. (Ills nose still shows the results of
the falls lie took.) But his real talent was for sell-
ing, whether Christmas cards, used saddles, or the
Saturday Evening Post. At the age of twelve he
worked out a deal with the circulation department
of the Texarkana Gazette whereby he would es-
tablish a paper route in the town's black slum area
and in return would earn 70 percent rather than
the customary 30 percent of subscription fees col-
lected. Setting out each morning at 3:30 on horse-
back, lie covered twenty miles before school each
clay, and he was soon making $40 a week. The
circulation department tried to renege on his
added percentage, but he successfully countered
that effort by going directly to the owner.
As a Boy Scout, Perot rose to the rank of Eagle
Scout. In school he was a mediocre student until
the eleventh grade, when the teacher told him he
was not as bright as his classmates and thus
prodded him into earning straight A's. After high
school lie attended Texarkana Junior College as
a pre-law student, but his real ambition was to
study at the United States Naval Academy and go
to sea. In 1919 lie succeeded in obtaining an ap-
pointinent to Annapolis.
At Annapolis Perot was only a middling student,
graduating 454th in a class of 925, but his class-
mates voted him the best all-around midshipman
and life president of the class. After receiving his
commission, in June 1953, Perot boarded the de-
stroyer USS Sigourner/ en route to Korea, but the
Korean war ended before the ship arrived. Ensign
Perot's next assignment was as assistant navigator
aboard the aircraft carrier USS Leyte. "I loved the
Navy, loved the sea, loved ships," he told Fred
Powledge of the New York Times Magazine (Feb-
ruary 28, 1971). "But I always find that whatever
I'm doing, I'm thoroughly involved in it. In the
Navy, the promotion system and the seniority sys-
tem and the waiting-in-line concept were just sort
of incompatible with my desire to be measured
and judged by what I could produce." Perot de-
cided not to sign tip for another hitch and was
discharged in 1957 with the rank of lieutenant.
