As he sees it, his job is to act as adviser, briefing officer and administrator for the President, not as an initiator of policy in the tradition of John Foster Dulles or Dean Acheson. "It is possible," he once said, "for the President to delegate too much power to his Secretary of State."

Nitze is likely to find the Navy job about as rough as Korth did. Commented one unimpressed admiral last week: "The Navy is getting ready to receive one of the biggest brains in town-I suppose it will be a stimulating experience for both him and us." But Nitze, it is assumed, is bright enough to use private stationery for private business correspondence...
