Brain trust
Brain trust began as a term for a group of close advisers to a political candidate or incumbent, prized for their expertise in particular fields. The term is most associated with the group of advisers to Franklin Roosevelt during his presidential administration. More recently the use of the term has expanded to encompass any group of advisers to a decision maker, whether or not in politics.
==Etymology==
The first use of the term brain trust was in 1899 when it appeared in the ''Marion'' (Ohio) ''Daily Star'': "Since everything else is tending to trusts, why not a brain trust?" This sense was referring to the era of trust-busting, a popular political slogan and objective of the time that helped spur the 1890 Sherman Antitrust Act and was later a key policy of President Theodore Roosevelt's administration. The term appears to have not been used again until 1928, when ''Time'' magazine ran a headline on a meeting of the American Council on Learned Societies titled "Brain Trust".〔Safire, William "Safire's Political Dictionary" (2008)〕
