...collect intelligence information from the Chinese and, as was his rule, groped for the Chinese way of doing it. The way (offering the Chinese American scientific data) was quickly found, and as quickly explained years later in his favorite brusque Americanese: "I got in contact with Chinese intellectuals. You can't go to China and get something without anything to give. You can't go and say 'gimme, gimme.' If you have something to give, that's OK, that's polite." It wasn't always in the line of duty.

Such improvements would not be cheap. They would, in fact, triple the present public and private investment in ETV to an annual $ 178 million average in the first four years. To collect that kind of cash Carnegie projections look for $54 million a year from state and local governments, and private philanthropists (including the Ford Foundation, which has granted ETV a life-saving $120 million since 1952).

Hoping he could still collect, Ernst took the paintings to the Dayton Art Institute, where the director, Siegfried Weng, asked for advice from the FBI and New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The paintings were declared genuine, but technically they were enemy property, and the U.S. promptly impounded them. In fact, they were nearly sold at auction until the State Department intervened, pointing out that as the property of a public museum, they belonged to the German people. The works were then deposited in the National Gallery-in ground floor vaults...
