Established in 1953, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute is a nonprofit medical research organization that currently supports approximately 325 investigators throughout the United States. Based in Chevy Chase, Maryland, the Institute conducts medical research and supports science education in the United States and biomedical scientists in other countries. The most recent group of 12 investigators was chosen because their combination of scientific expertise and medical training holds great potential for translating basic science discoveries into useful medical treatments.

[One] FBI report, dated February 3, 1953, reveals that the Bureau files now included a newspaper story quoting Hubbard's ex-wife during divorce litigation as saying L. Ron Hubbard was "hopelessly insane". This spiteful slander, made in anger and later recanted in a sworn statement by the woman who had originated it, was thereafter cited by the FBI in countless memoranda throughout the world. Twenty-three years later, an FBI memorandum dated February 22, 1974, contains the same calumny, still being maliciously circulated by the Bureau. (O.Garrison, Playing Dirty, pg.19/20)

One of the nation's most devastating natural disasters occurred in the Flint, Michigan's Beecher district on Monday, June 8th, 1953, resulting in 116 deaths and injuring 844. To date, this F5 intensity tornado was the last one in the United States to result in over 100 fatalities. In a 2000 National Weather Service poll, both the general public, and area "weather experts" voted the Flint-Beecher Tornado as the worst natural disaster in the state of Michigan in the 20th century.
