...that set up the CIA, and in 1950, its director, Walter Bedell Smith, asked him to come to Washington to talk over revisions in the agency's structure. "I went to Washington intending to stay six weeks," Dulles remembered. "I remained with the CIA for eleven years." He became a deputy director in 1951, CIA boss two years later...
...official title of Daedalus as "Journal of the Academy of Arts and Sciences" is misleading. It does not record minutes. It could even operate without the Academy, though not nearly as well. The circulation of Daedalus has increased in the eleven years since its founding to 35 times the membership of the Academy. Present circulation stands near 70,000--an increase of 50,000 since 1963. Philanthropic foundations also help. Carnegie Corporation, Danforth Foundation, and the Ford Foundation consistently finance most Daedalus projects. Some Fellows of the Academy, incidentally, have positions with these Foundations...
...Cabinet was hardly lolling abed either. Nixon scheduled the swearing-in ceremony for eleven of the twelve department heads for 8 a.m. (Interior Secretary Walter Hickel's confirmation was delayed by opposition from some Senate Democrats.

...fists, blinked his hooded eyes and stumbled over his words as he relived the interminable nightmare. In 4½ days of torturous testimony before a Navy Court of Inquiry last week, Commander Lloyd M. Bucher recounted the details of the capture of his ship U.S.S. Pueblo and the eleven-month ordeal that he and his crew endured while they were prisoners of the North Koreans. The tale he told was one of almost unbelievable hardship and endurance, and it left unanswered many troubling questions about higher-echelon complacency and shortsightedness in the U.S. Navy...
Window Dressing. For the moment, however, the dollar seems secure against the devaluation that a gold-price increase would involve. The U.S. last year ran a tiny balance-of-payments surplus, its first in eleven years. It was a victory with a high price. "No one should be deluded," says Treasury Secretary Kennedy. "Underneath the overall result, our trade balance has sagged to the vanishing point under the pressure of inflation, and additional controls on American investment were imposed to achieve the balance. We do not plan to rely indefinitely on tight controls or statistical window dressing to disguise...
