Valelrie Harper, who seemed to blame Gaus when her TV series was cancelled, asked, "In your walk to the moon, did you have to step on a star?"
Gaus has been repeatedly satirized on national TV. That began some years ago with the series WKRP in Cincinnati—which unfortunately supplanted a series the Valerie Harper series, Rhoda .
Dangerous or not, Gaus has occasionally been favored with a slight nod from the respectable establishment. His biographical sketch was, for example, featured in Outstanding People of the 20th. Century, a work published in 1999 by the International Biographical Centre of Cambridge, England
When young, Gaus spent twenty-seven months serving as a Peace Corps volunteer. He was sent to Africa where he came into contact with--and became interested in the culture of--a tribe said to have practiced cannibalism in pre-colonial times. They were also regarded as having superior business skills and as making good businessmen.
According to Gaus, "That experience was the perfect training for my later efforts in the U.S. business world. It helped me to understand and deal with people such as Mr. Alan Greenspan and Mr. Jack Welch of GE."
In 1983 Gaus incorporated in Indiana as "DS Gaus Corporation." He's served as Chairman & CEO from then to the present.
His current work and opinions are displayed on this site.

Addidtional graduate work at Columbia University.
Course work completed to the PhD level at the University of Washington in Seattle in mathematical biology.
Gaus writes, "When I was in my late twenties, a long-suppressed tendency to rebel against authority finally rose to the surface. I decided not to write a thesis for a PhD in mathematical biology. I left the academic world and a few years later began publishing my newsletter devoted to science and current affairs. That's a decision I don't entirely regret."
There's a date stamp barely visible in this image at upper right. The stamp came as a result of the material being submitted to Intenational Harvester in December 1973.
What happen next played a part in the resolution of the Cold War. This is quite a story, actually, and is told in our article about the work of Dr. Peter Glaser.
