ABSTRACT
The office of the Radio Liberty Committee was at 30 E 42nd Street in Manhattan on the corner of Madison Avenue. When I walked in on my first day on the job, I still had only a general idea of what Radio Liberty was. I was ushered into the corner office belonging to the President of the Radio Liberty Committee, How-land H. Sargeant. Sargeant was a former diplomat, who had been an Assistant Secretary of State under President Truman, and had once been married to the actress Myrna Loy. A New England Brahmin, he was an imposing presence behind his large empty desk, and I felt a bit overawed.
