Translated into action, this philosophy has brought Ford smack into the thick of the ghette race wars. Controversial grants to controversial people have led to one highy publicized fight after another, not all of which have left the foundation '.4 unbruised. N o' tc Ford, of course, has no monopoly on controversy. The far smaller Tacomc, New World and Field foundations pioneered in venturesome grants. And Ford's companion - members of the Big Rockefeller and Carnegie Three Iiav e taken their share of risks.
