...cold war ("The Kremlin is inescapably militant"). Nitze supervised the preparation of NSC-68 as director of the State Department's policy planning staff. His desk was only a conference room away from that of his friend and boss, Secretary of State Dean Acheson. His office in Foggy Bottom today, its walls decorated with memorabilia and impressionist art, is almost as close to George Shultz...

On the cluttered wet bar of his home office in rural Parkton, Md., nine stubby, stemless glasses, narrower at the top than at the bottom, are lined up. Behind them stand nine uncorked bottles of California red wine, their labels obscured by foil wraps. The critic rinses the glasses with wine from three of the bottles.
