For his dour countenance he came to be known as Grim Grom; for his ability to conceal his mood, Washington diplomats began in the 1940s to call him Old Stone Face. The sobriquet, former Secretary of State Dean Acheson wrote in his memoirs, "accurately described an impenetrable mask which may well have contributed to his amazing and unique record of survival...
