David:
I should have footnoted my reply to you about how Dulles got to be DCI.
I was pretty much correct about how it happened. Except not only was Smith ill, he did not want the job anymore.
My source was Leonard Mosley's book, Dulles, pages 272, 296-97. Although this is an old book, 1978, it is still one of the better biographies on the Dulles brothers that I know about.
