...Paper Tiger. Dulles went upstairs to a room crowded with 42 correspondents, adjusted his steel-rimmed glasses, and read the Newport Warning straight through. Then he made the message even plainer in a "background briefing" under the standard ground rule that he would be quoted only as an unnamed "high official," until, two days later, angry ex-Secretary of State Dean Acheson announced to one and all the identity of the briefing officer...
