Secretary Pompeo's So-Called Scandal

Editorial of The New York Sun | May 20, 2020

One of our favorite stories about the State Department involves one of the wisest secretaries, George Shultz. Supposedly before he sent a new ambassador overseas he would invite the tyro into the secretary's office. At some point he would sidle over to a large globe and give it a spin. Then he would ask the new ambassador to point to his country. As the globe slowed, the new envoy would point to whatever country he was assigned -- France, maybe, or Brazil.
"Oh, no," Mr. Shultz would say, spinning the globe again. When it stopped he would point to America and proclaim, "THIS is your country."

Mr. Shultz must be a racist. Kissinger said Shultz the # 1 man to call upon during a crisis.
