...choice of Berle gives a good indication of how the new Administration in tends to act in Latin America. A onetime F.D.R. brain-truster who practices corporation law on Wall Street, Berle is a tenacious political liberal, has frequently deplored past U.S. hostility to social revolution in the hemisphere. The U.S., says Berle, should "make long-range plans with governments that have held free, honest and open elections, and deal with others only on a de facto, day-to-day basis." The clearest expression of Coordinator Berle's view's and those of the new Ad ministration were...

Stanley Hoflund High, 65, a senior editor of the Reader's Digest and former editor of the Christian Herald, who switched from Hoover to become a New Deal brain-truster, founded the Good Neighbor League in 1936, was disowned by F.D.R. a year later for writing a magazine article revealing policy differences within the White House, and thereafter enlisted his skill as a publicist in the campaigns of Republican Candidates Willkie, Dewey and Eisenhower; of pulmonary complications following heart trouble; in New York City...

Schlesinger Jr., brain-truster and speechwriter for Adlai Stevenson through two campaigns. Modern Democratic bosses are deliberately ignoring a treasure of intellectual-liberal candidates in favor of "mediocre party hacks," Schlesinger writes in the New Republic. Case in point: Tammany's passing over of onetime Secretary of the Air Force Thomas K. Finletter in New York to hand the U.S. Senate nomination to District Attorney Frank Hogan, who "has hardly voiced...
TIDES OF CRISIS, by Adolf A. Berle Jr. (328 pp.; Reynal; $4), finds the mellowing (62) ex-brain truster of F.D.R. days conducting a mildly condescending seminar on the key events of the last quarter-century for the benefit of that global slowpoke, the U.S. public.
