George W. Ball, 51, Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs. Another Stevensonian, Lawyer Ball was executive director of Adlai's volunteer groups in the 1952 campaign, took charge of his candidate's public relations in 1956.

Nowhere is Freud more touchingly fallible than in his love letters to his fiancee Martha Bernays, which occupy half this book...
