David, the more I read about this guy the less likely it seems anyone was pulling his levers.
Harriman acted like a sovereign. His long-time employee was Prescott Bush. His wife Pamela Churchill Harriman raised 12 million dollars for Bill Clinton's 1992 Prez campaign.
The proteges of Ave and Pam occupied the White House for 20 years after Harriman died in '86.
There has never been a geopolitical operator like W. Averell Harriman.
Likely 2016 Pres match-up: Hillary Clinton v. Jeb Bush. It'll be the coziest intra-mural contest since Averell ran against Nelson Rockefeller for Gov of NY in 1958.
