Summary

Interesting Things with JC #1692: "Frank Gardiner Wisner" – Frank Wisner watched Soviet influence replace German influence in Romania while World War II was still being fought, and the institutions he later helped build were designed to compete in the same kind of political struggle through covert influence, organizations, media, and intelligence networks long after armies stopped moving.
