The State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research wears a gloomy mien that irks Secretary of State Dean Rusk and the optimistic deskmen of the East Asian bureau.

A staff of 28 copy deskmen routed this material to writers and editors all through the night; a force of reference librarians dug out background material.
