...four long days last week Lord Beaverbrook, Britain's Cabinet member-in-charge-of-aviation, the U.S. State Department's Assistant Secretary Adolf Berle, and seven other U.S. and British aviation "experts" talked over a pink-blottered mahogany table in the lime green, fresco-ceilinged conference room of London's ancient Gwydyr House (where The Beaver keeps his office as Lord Privy Seal).

The man: ex-U.S. Ambassador to Japan, Joseph Clark Grew, a good diplomat who nonetheless knew nothing about aviation, until he got his new assignment two weeks ago.
