Admiral Rickovers experiences in the nuclear reactor program have led him to his sometimes outspoken. sometime philosophical indictment of the American industrial and school system. He has no patience with waste and inefficiency. The future Admiral had a hard beginning when he entered the Naval Academy in 1919. His father was a tailor who had immigrated from Russia and settled in Chicago. where young Rickover was born and attended the public schools. In his early Naval career he went through the normal jobs of an engineering officer. serving aboard ships and at shipyards. Not until after World War II did he arouse controversy. when he began pressing the Navy to study the feasibility of developing nuclear propulsion for submarines.
