Early life

[edit]

I changed Schenley Corporation to link to Schenley Industries, and swapped the link to distillation with one to Bourbon whiskey, Schenley's principal product. I also removed the part about the Depression. Adding the year of hire, 1939, makes it hard to mention the Depression without also mentioning Prohibition and World War II. The article should say what kind of spectroscopy Wattenberg performed at Schenley, as well.

I flagged the bit about US Steel with "dubious." The biographical article seems to say he didn't work at US Steel: "In 1940, when Al was recruited by US Steel, Schenley countered by giving him a large raise and decreasing his work load to 30 hours a week, which allowed him to return to graduate school at Columbia."
