...reach of his office and of U.S. policy. His entrée to the spiritual fortress that is the Vatican, the facility with which he dealt with a Communist ruler in Belgrade and a Falangist in Madrid, as well as formal allies in Rome and London-all combined to convey a sense of healthy diversity. Massive television coverage showed him not only in formal association with world leaders but in human communication with ordinary citizens.

After eleven years of steady work for Chrysler Corp., he was laid off by the company's space division at Cape Kennedy in June 1969. He sold his Florida house at a $2,000 loss and disposed of some Chrysler stock, Government bonds and a small boat to finance a move to Colorado. He was hired by a research firm, but that job lasted only six months. After six weeks...
