“You realize that you are not indispensable .... And you learn that the lengthening of life is a superior goal over nearly everything else.'' Bill McGowan”
Scott Woolley, The Network: The Battle for the Airwaves and the Birth of the Communications Age

“AS A KID GROWING UP IN A RURAL PENNSYLVANIA COAL COUNTRY in the 1930s and 1940s, Bill McGowan never dreamed of a career as a businessman, unaware that such a profession even existed. The son of a railroad engineer and a schoolteacher, McGowan got his first glimpse of the wider world during a three-year stint in the U.S. Army in postwar Europe, after which he returned home to complete an undergraduate degree in chemistry at King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. McGowan excelled at chemistry, thanks to his talent for comprehending the rules of complex systems, but found little joy in the subject. His plans for a career in medicine left him similarly lukewarm. One King’s College professor surmised the gregarious, hyper-analytical student’s true calling and suggested he apply for a seat in Harvard Business School’s class of 1954.”
Scott Woolley, The Network: The Hidden History of a Trillion Dollar Business Heist

“This was the way to getting the FCC to support good public policy, Bill McGowan believed. Only a fool would walk into the regulatory agency, make a straightforward case for competition, and expect to win.”
Scott Woolley, The Network: The Hidden History of a Trillion Dollar Business Heist
