base in the Panama Canal .Zone. Since the bride had '
her doctorate in international law (and later wrote
two books on the subject), they spent a lot of time dis
cussing law. While Ruth was in Paris, Rick had taken
a correspondence course in international law.
The idea of an atomic submarine first developed in
Rickover's mind about the time of the early A-bomb
tests. He submitted details to the Navy, but the re
port was shelved. He refused to quit, however, and
after three years he wore down opposition to the sub.
Finally, in 1962, the keel was laid for the Nautilus.
Secretary of the Navy Dan Kimball pinned the Legion
of Merit on Rickover, declaring that he had done "the
most important piece of development work in the his
tory of the Navy."
Looking for men to join his program, Rickover dis
covered few were qualified. "The products of U. S.
schools are illiterate in science and unfit for nuclear
sailing," he said and set out to find out why. In 1956
he launched two naval nuclear power schools, often
conducting final oral exams himself. Mrs. Rickover
helped him by ghostwriting parts of his books, "Edu
cation and Freedom" and "Swiss Schools and Ours."
After a visit to the Soviet Union in 1959, Rickover
warned, "Russia's educational system is better than
ours. We'd better build brains fast to survive."
"Educational reform," he declared, "is the most
important thing in my life." But his prickly prose in
vited hostility. "I think Parent-Teacher Associations
are an infernal nuisance and ought to be abolished,"
he said in a typical speech last January. "Women
should stay at home and take care of their husbands."
The Rickovers live quietly. Mrs. Rickover is seldom
seen in public but devotes her time to her Washington
home and the care of her husband and their son Rob
ert, who was graduated from Yale, class of '60, and
went on to Officers Training School.
The Navy's Private War
A number of years ago, Rear Adm. Charles C. Kirk
patric was asked why Mrs. Rickover hadn't christened
an atomic ship when wives of lesser officers had. "That
is a question I fear no one will ever be able to an
swer," Kirkpatric said.
In a rare outburst, Mrs. Rickover answered the ques
tion bluntly: "The Navy brass is determined to hurt
my husband for his independence and free spirit. By
passing me is one of the most elegant ways they could
devise to hurt him."
A proud and hopelessly inner-directed man, Rick
over spends hundreds of million of dollars for national
security and yet he travels economy-class to save
taxpayers' dollars. He wears civilian clothes, his wide
ties and suits are reminiscent of the '30s, and some
times he fixes his own lunch on a hot plate in his
office. He has never taken a penny in book royalties,
cash awards, or fees for speeches and magazine arti
cles. He gives it all to charities for children.
Rickover has received 13 U. S. Navy commendations,
the Order of the British Empire, and many private
honors. But his best award came from the crew of the
Nautilus after her historic voyage under the North
Pole. They presented him with a piece of the polar ice
pack they had kept in deepfreeze.
"Those who regard Rickover as a ruthless, hard
bitten man should have seen his reaction," said Wil
liam R. Anderson, commander of the Nautilus. "His.
ordinarily gaunt, serious face was wreathed in smiles.
He examined the ice with almost childlike delight. I
had the feeling that that piece of ice meant more to
him than all the rank, publicity, and accolades that
have been showered upon him."
