GEORGE F. KENNAN
Ambassador
That's an interesting dispatch by Kennan but I suspect by 1952 his thoughts mattered little, the damage was already done by his famous telegram of 1946?

Howard Evans described him as "a victim of Murphy's law of diplomacy: that ambiguous passages will always be read upside down". Kennan spent years trying to undo the misinterpretations.
