...interested in your discussion of [CBS President] Frank Stanton's attitude toward Person to Person [Nov. 2], and feel inclined to take up the cudgels for Mr. Murrow. I was on this program two years ago. When you state that it is "vaguely" rehearsed, you are right. "Vaguely" is the word.

He has a wide firsthand knowledge of Europe (he had been slated for the post of Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs until Murphy announced his resignation) and is thoroughly familiar with the problems of West Germany in particular, having served in Bonn for three years (1953-56), first as Deputy High Commissioner, later as Minister of the U.S. embassy. German-fluent Ambassador Dowling is equally at home with aging chiefs of state. In his most recent post, as Ambassador to Korea...
