Early Surrender. Dulles did change history when he returned to Bern in 1942 as OSS chief in Switzerland. A contact known pseudonymously as George Wood, in the German Foreign Office, sent him more than 2,000 documents from Berlin. Dulles kept in touch with the ring of German officers who tried to assassinate Hitler on July 20, 1944. He learned of the V-l and V-2 secret-weapons development at the Peenemunde research center in time for Allied bombing raids to set the program back for crucial months...
...plans had an almost surrealistic quality, as if Pueblo were on a paper mission while the military played an elaborate game. Air Force jets were kept "on call" on Okinawa, 900 air miles from Wonsan, North Korea. However, it would have taken 21 hours to scramble the fighters and fly them to Pueblo's aid. Four fighter-bombers were supposed to be ready in South Korea, but they were armed with nuclear warheads and useless for such a mission. Air Force jets stationed in Japan were unavailable because a status-of-forces agreement prevented their use in any combat...

Throughout the world, they were widely considered to be innocent because the trials had been held in secret...
Undoubtedly much of the institute's work will be kept under tight security wraps and go directly to the top men in the Kremlin (Arbatov is said to have the ear of Premier Aleksei Kosygin). But the institute has announced an ambitious publication list-none of it so far available-for this year. Arbatov plans to bring out a monograph showing the influence of ideology on foreign policy. Deputy Director Evgeny Sergeevich Shcherchnov, an economist, is scheduled to publish a study of trade policy, and a group of specialists, including Gromyko, is expected to produce a work...
...implications of this are clear. In the face of rising student concern with ROTC, the Army presents a memorandum to the CEP, a memorandum the content of which is kept secret. The day of the faculty meeting, Dean Ford calls a press conference to explain the CEP resolution, before little understood and intentionally so. It was a clear attempt to forestall student displeasure and announce a fait accompli before anything could be done about it. And this is precisely why he reacted so strongly to the prospect of 200 students sitting quietly at the Faculty meeting: a real and honest...
