.....On another program, Tex picked up the story which he had heard on election night when U.E. Baughman, Chief of the U.S. Secret Service, had briefed Eisenhower on security matters. He began the program, “In such a world as we face today, our guest has a very special mission. He is U.E. Baughman, Chief of the Secret Service. Chief, could you explain just what your job is? In the beginning the Secret Service was formed to catch counterfeiters. What's your job now?” The Chief took out of his pocket a little cloth, opened it on the table, and removed something that looked like a wad of chewing gum. He poked it with a red pen. Tex asked, “What's that thing?” He said, “That is to remind us of what our job is. This is the bullet that killed President Lincoln.” Years later, when Tex thought about Kennedy's assassination and Reagan being shot, he remembered Baughman's statement....

Charles Whitehouse; Decorated Pilot, CIA Official and Envoy

July 05, 2001|From The Washington Post

....Whitehouse was born in Paris, the son of a career diplomat, and raised in Europe and South America. He served in the Navyand then in the Marine Corps. He was decorated with 21 Air Medals and seven Distinguished Flying Crosses.

He graduated from Yale University before coming to Washington and joining the CIA. He was posted to Congo, Turkey, Cambodia and Belgium before transferring to the State Department as a Foreign Service officer. He was then posted to South Africa.

Whitehouse returned to Washington in the 1960s and graduated from the National War College in 1966. He was posted to Guinea before being assigned in 1969 to South Vietnam as the diplomat in charge of the pacification program for the country's central region. Whitehouse directed aid and military activity against Communist forces.

He returned to Washington in 1971, serving as acting assistant secretary of State for East Asian affairs. He went back to

Vietnam in 1972 to become deputy ambassador to Ellsworth Bunker.

When Bunker left in 1973, Whitehouse became ambassador to Laos and served there until becoming ambassador to Thailand in 1975. In that nation, he faced new difficulties, having to allay concerns over massive Cambodian and Laotian refugee camps

and internal opposition to the U.S. military and intelligence presence in Thailand.

He returned to the United States and served in 1982 and 1983 as president of the American Foreign Service Assn. In 1988, he was appointed the first assistant secretary of Defense for special operations and low-density conflict, a post he held until 1989.

In 1993, the retired Whitehouse focused his attention on Disney's plans to develop 3,000 acres in Haymarket, Va. The development had the support of then-Virginia Gov. George Allen, legislators, Prince William County politicians and most of the Washington-area business establishment.....

Bush, Kerry Share Tippy-Top Secret Yalies Bush and Kerry Share a Patrician Past Of Skull and Bones

By Don Oldenburg

Washington Post Staff Writer

Sunday, April 4, 2004; Page D01

...But the old-boy network couldn't accept women quite as easily. After Yale began admitting women in 1969, the first Bonesmen to try to tap them were in the Class of '71. The attempt was thwarted by outraged patriarchs -- among them McGeorge Bundy, the national security adviser to presidents Kennedy and Johnson; investment banker Jonathan Bush, George W.'s uncle; and John "Tex" McCrary, the public relations legend. They threatened to shut the Tomb for a year and choose the next Bones class themselves.

In 1991, the patriarchs did lock down the Tomb to rebuff that class's intention to tap women. After a lawsuit was filed, women were approved narrowly. Since then, speculates Robbins, Bones has tapped five to eight women per class. ...

Tex McCrary took credit for pushing Eisenhower into the 1952 presidential race while Eisenhower was out of the country, serving in Europe. McCrary was also credited with leaking the details behind this award winning journalism.:

Using a consulting firm called Diversified Services as a cover, Probinsky was one of Pindling's major bag men.52 Pindling's political strategy since the opening of the Monte Carlo casino, with the attendant publicity about organized crime, was to portray the ruling clique as corrupt lackeys of the mob. In 1965 this claim was enhanced by the judicious leaking of incriminating material about crime and corruption in Freeport to influential reporters.

Odd as it may seem on the face of it, this was done by those very close to the gamblers. For instance, the "irresponsible and meddlesome" Tex McCrary, who had excellent contacts with the national press, began leaking stories, s did others associated with Lansky. This was a risky gambit because it was impossible to predict just where reporters with McCrary's leads might go. The plan, or its unforseen consequences, came together on 5 October 1966, when the story of organized crime and corruption in Freeport broke on the front page of the Wall Street Journal. Brilliantly researched and written by Stanley Penn (assisted by Monroe W. Karmin), it laid out the seamy history of casino gambling in The Bahamas......

The Seizing of the American Broadcasting Company

This article originally appeared in the February 20-27, 1987 issue of The LA Weekly.

There is an untold story about the ABC television network. It is about how a company in which CIA Director William Casey is a major player took over the network. The least of the questions this raises is whether Casey used his CIA position to help drive down the price of ABC stock, thereby facilitating the takeover. The most important question it raises is, who really controls ABC, and what can be expected of these people?

......ABCIA?...

....A closer look at Cap Cities shows three areas that beg for deeper inquiry. One is the founders themselves --- who they are and what their ties may have been to the U.S. intelligence establishment. Another is the relationship of Cap Cities' founders and execs to a company called Resorts International, some of whose divisions have been said to be intimate with intelligence agencies. And finally, there is the stock deal and William Casey's role in it, as well as any ongoing Casey role in Cap Cities.

Cap Cities was founded in 1954 by several men who were or would become prominent. Chief among them, and the principal players in the company, were famed explorer-newscaster Thomas; Tom Dewey, the former New York governor and twice GOP candidate for president (both, like most other Cap Cities founders, now deceased); and William J. Casey, who was Cap Cities' chief counsel and a member of its board of directors until 1981, when he joined the Reagan administration. He still owns $7.5 million in stock in the now-merged entity called CC/ABC, his largest holding.

Casey should require no introduction. Appointed by Reagan in 1981 as director of the Central Intelligence Agency, he brought to the job an early training in intelligence in the wartime Office of Strategic Services (which later became the CIA) and a lifelong network of friends and allies in the intelligence community. Crafty, secretive, an ardent supporter of covert action and a big-time player in corporate politics, Casey is part of an "old boy" network of intelligence hands who have frequently used American companies to help in intelligence or covert-action matters or, as in the case of ITT and the CIA in Chile, persuaded the CIA to help out in corporate affairs. (Using corporations to help out in a variety of ways --- from washing money, to providing fake business to CIA "front companies," to furnishing cover for intelligence agents --- was a specialty of the man who did the most to give the CIA its power and covert network: its former director, Allen Dulles, a friend, wartime colleague and, rumor has it, business partner of Casey.)

Lowell Thomas was a larger-than-life figure --- an explorer, a broadcast personality, a film documentarist and a best-selling author. The Soviets long accused Thomas of also being an American intelligence agent because he often appeared with photographers and film crews at highly sensitive points of "communist versus the Free World" conflict. Thomas, though he had at minimum good journalistic connections in the U.S. intelligence community, always denied being a spook in the face of published articles questioning his activities. But he made no bones about his staunch anti-communist leanings. (He even appeared with John Wayne, Martha Raye and several U.S. generals in No Substitute for Victory, a denunciation of commie-coddling sponsored by the far-right John Birch Society.)

Thomas lived in a New York state enclave for the rich where one of his neighbors was Thomas E. Dewey. (Another was Lawrence E. Walsh, later to become special prosecutor in the Iran-Contra affair.) Dewey and Thomas later were involved in another company, Mary Carter Paint, which later became Resorts International (more on this below)...

Republics Ancient and Modern: Classical Republicanism and the American Revolution.

Rahe, Paul A. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina

......If you came from California, did they call you Cal?

They didn't call you Cal, but they did call us Tex. I call my brother Douglas and he calls me Brother. And he was Navy and I was Air Force. The most searing memory of my youth was seeing a black boy lynched from a lamppost on Main Street. He was a fine baseball player in the public school across the tracks that Tom Bradley later went to. It's my bitterest memory, really, in life.

You went off to Exeter shortly after that, to climb "the sharp hill that led to all the years ahead." The phrase is Evelyn Waugh's--it's from the last line of his autobiography, A Little Learning.

I learned to learn at Exeter; it was my defining moment. I went there for two years--graduated in '28. .... I still go to the annual Exeter dinners in New York--out of curiosity--and now that Tom Lamont, who's ninety-something, doesn't go to them anymore, I'm generally the oldest guy there.

At Exeter I was a pretty damn good boxer--I whipped Frenchie Gilligan, the captain of the football team, in a fight. And I got elected to the Greasers, the athletic fraternity. I tried like hell to get into M.I.T. and failed. Bad in math.

So you went to Yale instead. You certainly covered a lot of ground there.

I was quarterback on the 150-pound team, and I fought under Mosie King, the great Yale boxing coach, and I studied under some of those legendary professors like Chauncey Brewster Tinker and William Lyon Phelps. Billy Phelps taught the famous Tennyson and Browning course and helped Gene Tunney--as a friend--develop a passionate interest in Shakespeare. A couple of years after I graduated, I invited Billy Phelps for a weekend at my father-in-law's--my first wife's father, Arthur Brisbane, who was Hearst's chief editor and all-around miracle man. He had built himself a palatial house on 10,000 acres in New Jersey--sort of a junior San Simeon. I made it a point to study my old professor as he audited a conversation between Mr. Brisbane and Moe Annenberg, Walter Annenberg's father, who at the time was Hearst's circulation manager; they were arguing about a real estate deal they were both part of--the Ritz Tower Hotel. Billy Phelps was aghast, because the language that was being used was neither Tennyson nor Browning.

At Yale I was also the editor of the humor magazine, the Record. Yale's future president A. Whitney Griswold had been the editor four years before me, and incidentally, the cartoonist Garry Trudeau was the editor some forty years after me. The new Record building on Elm Street that my predecessors had built opened under me, and in order to pay off the mortgage, I started up a beer parlor in the basement and an Arthur Murray Dance Studio on the second floor--those were the Big Band years and everybody was learning to dance.

Was editing the Record the high point of your years at Yale?

One of them. At the end of my junior year I was tapped for Skull and Bones. We had an interesting delegation: both ends on the football team, Hertie Barres and Johnny Lindenberg; Eugene O'Neill Jr., who became a professor of classics at Yale and ended up slitting his throat; Freddie Adams, who went on to become the director of the Pierpont Morgan Library; Bowie Savage from Bangor, Maine, whose father was a grocery magnate--Bowie later killed somebody in an argument; Bill Hodges, who was head of the Aspen Institute at some point; Quigg Newton, who became the mayor of Denver.... No, that's wrong, Quigg we tapped; he was a year behind us. I remember because I was Uncle Toby.

Uncle Toby?

That's what the guy in Bones who's chairman of Tap Day is called. Albie Booth was also in the Class of '32. He was a helluva guy, but he played out--he just played out, the way football heroes do. Nobody became governor, senator, president, that I can remember. Oh, Tom Mendenhall became president of Smith, which we called "Yale's farm club for girls." A terrific guy in our class, Doug MacArthur, nephew of the general, became our ambassador to Japan. We did have four polo players who became 10-goalers: Pete Bostwick, Stewart Iglehart, Jimmy Mills and Mike Phipps, a great friend whom I named my first son after--Michael Brisbane McCrary. I have three sons-and no grandchildren. No gays, but no grandchildren.

A couple of years ago, Skull and Bones voted to admit women to membership--the next to last of the great Yale secret societies to do so. As it happens, the society I belong to, Wolfs Head, was the very last to cave in.

"Cave in" is right--we shamed you dinosaurs into it! At the time the big Bones debate was going on, I bumped into George Bush in the field house up at West Point on the graduation day there. I had on me a piece of paper from the Bones archive with the Bones symbol and my name in Bones language, Sancho Panza, which had also been the Bones name of the guy who tapped me, Lewis Lapham, who became the head of Bankers Trust--they don't hand the name down exactly, but if you like it you can ask for it. This piece of paper had "Voted Democratic in 1932" written on it--I'd voted for FDR--and I showed it to Bush and he laughed. Then I said, "How are you voting on High Street? For women or against?"--"High Street" is shorthand for Bones, because that's where the Bones "tomb" is--and Bush pointed back over his shoulder to Barbara and said, "What do you think?"

But maybe that was just for the record. I think he checked the -No' column. And I'm not so sure about you either. This is a new trick, and I'd think it would be pretty hard for dogs of a certain vintage to learn it.

Well, you forget that I had a helluva partnership with a woman--Jinx. We're still very close, though we separated finally about ten years ago. You see, I love the city, she loves the country--she still lives in the big, old rambling house on Greentree, Jock Whitney's estate in Manhasset, that he gave us for token rent plus upkeep. And, well, as everybody knows, jinx had a problem for a long time. And it was a tough time. But jinx whipped her problem. With no help from Betty Ford. It was God and golf that saved her. jinx, you have to remember, was from one of the most athletic families in the country. She was a great tennis player, like her brothers Bob and Tom. Tom could beat Bob, who could beat everybody else. Bob had the longest string of aces in the history of Wimbledon.

Didn't Tom Falkenburg go from serving balls to serving time? I think I read somewhere that be robbed some banks.

Well... I don't want to get into that. jinx was once runner-up to Pauline Betz in California. And jinx and I won the mixed-doubles tournament at the reopening of Greenbrier after the war, playing against Dina Merrill and her then husband, Stan Rumbough. It was the resident golf pro there, one Sam Snead, who explained to me that golf is a great cure for all kinds of troubles. "It's better than a shrink," he said, "because his--he'd wrapped it in lead foil to protect the film. Later, as we took off from Hiroshima to fly to Nagasaki, I said to the men, "I don't think we should write about what we've seen. I don't think they can stand to know back home what we've done here. But I leave it up to you--if one of you is going to do it, then we've all got to." In the end, everybody softened his story, and Bernie Hoffman exposed seven rolls of Leica film. He kept one roll, and the only picture that was ever printed was of stumps and rubble seen through a split marble head of a statue of Christ that had been standing outside a Catholic church when the bomb hit. Bernie shot what had been a city through that face, and that was a full page in Life.

John Hersey came through months later, assembling the whole story, which The New Yorker dropped everything--including all advertising--from one issue to run, and it became a landmark in the history of that magazine, of print journalism; it was the first of The New Yorker's famous long pieces. For me, it was the biggest damn story I never told--I covered it up and John Hersey uncovered it. That's the difference between being a p.r. guy and a reporter. But to be fair to myself, I wasn't there as a reporter; I was there for the Air Force--to be able to say to the world that the Air Force had won the war.

Meanwhile, you married that girl with the superstition-defying name--Jinx.....
