...well qualified as any expert observer to explain how it had happened was elegant, wealthy, bald-headed Mr. Bullitt, who had seen Paris fall. No one doubted that his words had first been well weighed by Mr. Roosevelt. But never before had a U. S. Ambassador, a member of the Administration, been permitted to talk on international affairs with such undiplomatic, brutal bluntness. Mr. Bullitt minced no monosyllables. What he saw was the need for desperate haste. He quoted Hitler's handwriting on the democracies' wall: Each country will imagine that it alone will escape. I shall...

The hush-hush province of ciphers, codes, spies and their works is all G-2's: bald, husky Brigadier General Sherman Miles, whose ancestry and career are as glamorous as any in the Army. His father was the late Lieut. General Nelson A. Miles, his grandfather William Tecumseh Sherman. In the first months of World War I he was military observer with the Russian armies, later served as a military intelligence officer with...
Unwilling to make any definite commitments about the conference, cagey Argentine Foreign Minister José M. Cantilo cautiously proclaimed a policy of "continental solidarity and autonomy of action," carefully remained in Buenos Aires on a plea of pressing domestic problems. In his place bald, scholarly Dr. Leopoldo Melo, onetime Minister of the Interior, will head the Argentine delegation, accompanied by Felipe A. Espil, Argentine Ambassador in Washington...
