There has never been any question about the fighting qualities of Major General Edwin A. Walker, U.S.A. During World War II, Texas-born "Ted" Walker often blacked his face, led his troops on bloody night raids against German units in Italy. In the Korean war he won further combat distinction, and in 1957, commanding troops of the 101st Airborne Division and the National Guard, he handled the Little Rock school crisis with such no-nonsense determination as to earn even the grudging admiration of segregationists.

Dean earned his negotiator's credentials the hard way, representing the U.S. in the interminable Korean war truce talks with the Chinese Communists. In his briefcase, Dean carried a whole sheaf of new Western proposals, jointly tailored by the Kennedy Administration and the British government to eliminate the most serious Soviet objections to previous Western plans.
