Lodge's instructions flow from the State Department's Bureau of International Organization Affairs, headed by Assistant Secretary Francis O. Wilcox. For any U.N. question that can be foreseen, the Wilcox Bureau prepares "position papers," checks them out with other federal agencies concerned-Defense Department, Atomic Energy Commission, etc. After approval by Dulles and Eisenhower, a position paper becomes a statement of U.S. policy. In keeping with this written policy, Wilcox & Co. draft explicit instructions; if they call for introduction of a U.S. resolution, a draft is included...
...DEFENSE SECRETARY CHARLES E. WILSON. Gavin quotes an unnamed service chief on Wilson: "The most uninformed man, and the most determined to remain so." His "deception and duplicity," says Gavin, let him conceal slashes in combat-ready divisions by creating "Wilson" divisions out of paper groups of troops as far apart as Fort Benning, Ga. and the Panama Canal Zone.

And where The Captain calls for gusts of high-velocity satire, Zuckmayer gives it only windy philosophizing ("We're just entries on paper," mourns Voigt. "We're not human beings"). Chief honors for giving The Captain the moderate amount of appeal it has go to Veteran Heinz Rühmann, whose shuffling, beagle-faced portrayal of Voigt won him last year's best-actor award from the German government...
