- William_T._Kirby abstract "William T. Kirby (1911-1990) was a founding member of the board of directors and Chairman of the Board of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Kirby was also the defense attorney for Preston Tucker, whose development and financing of an advanced automobile, the 1948 Tucker Sedan (also nicknamed the Tucker Torpedo) led to a controversial SEC inquiry and stock fraud trial in 1949. The jury found Tucker and his colleagues not guilty.Kirby was John MacArthur's attorney. He and Paul Doolen, MacArthur's CFO, suggested that the MacArthurs create a foundation which was endowed by the MacArthur's vast fortune. The legal document, written by Kirby, that created the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation was two pages long and written in plain English. In August 1978, Kirby suggested that the MacArthur Foundation create the Fellows Program. The idea first came to Kirby's attention through George E. Burch, a doctor at Tulane University. After bringing the idea to the original board members of the MacArthur Foundation, he was instrumental in shaping it.William T. Kirby, who served as vice chairman and chairman of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, died Monday at West Bend, Wis., apparently of a heart attack. He was 79 years old and lived in Chicago. Kirby also introduced and nurtured other programs that are often seen as hallmarks of the MacArthur Foundation including: program funding mental health research focus on community development focus on the world's environment MacArthur's leadership in their first 15 years in funding independent media such as early funding of NPR, the creation of P.O.V, Ken Burns' The Civil War series, media arts centers across the United States, Bill Moyers' The Power of Myth and all of his subsequent programs, the MacNeil Lehrer News Hour, and the creation of ITVS (Independent Television Service).↑".
