brain trust. James M. Kieran of the New York Times called the group of experts surrounding presidential candidate Franklin Delano Roosevelt the brains trust in his 1932 dis- patches, the term having previously been used in sarcastic reference to the first American general staff in 1901, not at all in the same sense.
