Next day, just before noon, the precious package was carried downstairs to the large, unlovely office of the Superintendent of Airmail. There, tense and expectant, some 200 airline executives, newshawks and Government officials jammed around a long table. At the head sat baldish Postmaster General Farley slightly ill-at-ease, surrounded by a pack of assistants. Spectators mounted chairs and desks to see and hear better...
...America of Washington, Lincoln, et al. would have to be destroyed. None had said that they sought to introduce a U. S. Soviet by "thwarting our then evident recovery."

He lives in Moscow with his French wife, infant offspring...
...rheumy old Georges Clemenceau who first called dapper, baldish Jean Chiappe "le flic le plus habile de France," "the smartest cop in France." Newspapers like to call the Prefect of Police Little Napoleon, for, like the First Consul, he was born in Corsica. Flic Chiappe went to the Paris prefecture seven years ago after a distinguished career in the Sûreté Générale, the French secret police. It was Jean Chiappe who solved the historic cases of the Hungarian Forgeries and the Rose Diamond of Chantilly...
