    Library of Congress Interview with John U. Nix Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project JOHN U. NIX Interviewed by: Raymond Ewing Initial interview date: February 18, 1997 Copyright 2004 ADST Q: This is a Foreign Affairs Oral History Program interview with John Nix. It's being conducted on the 18th of February, 1997. I am Raymond Ewing. John, you entered the Foreign Service, I see, in about 1971. You were born in Alabama and went to the military academy at West Point. Tell me, with that beginning how you wound up in the Foreign Service. Is that something that you were headed for right along or did this develop at a later stage? NIX: Both developed during my years in the Army. As you mentioned, I graduated from West Point in 1960. I immediately went off to serve in Germany, in Berlin. I happened, by coincidence, to be there at the time the Berlin Wall went up. Then I came back to the United States and went off to Vietnam. In the meantime, I got married and had a little boy. The experience of leaving him behind when he was one year old and not seeing him again until he was two years old made a deep impression on me. So, I started thinking seriously about getting out of the Army. I investigated opportunities with the U.S. government and decided that the Foreign Service would be a good way to continue my public service career as well as something that I thought I was well suited for.

  • Memories of Christ Church, Northern Department in the Foreign Office, Poland and Moscow 1945 - 50
    Memories of 1945–50 Christ Church, Northern Department in the Foreign Office, Poland and Moscow J P Waterfield © J T Waterfield 2016 1 Memories of Christ Church, Northern Department in the Foreign Office, Poland and Moscow 1945 - 50 Written in 2000/01/02 I am writing this at Somerton entirely from memory, without reference to any official history or papers. It is indeed "memories" and in no way intended to be an analysis of foreign policy. I have, after constant encouragement by Tilla while she lived, at last become enthusiastic for trying to do this, partly because of the surprisingly warm reception by my friends of my two narratives of war-time, "Tunis revisited" and "Carinthia - return to Schloss Thalenstein". Now I feel my first few years after the war in the Foreign Office might provide some entertainment, and also astonishment at the way things were so long ago. Also as a memorial to some remarkable personalities and good friends. I went up to Christ Church aged just twenty-four with a pre-war scholarship in Classics, straight from five years soldiering, in October 1945. I went indirectly from the 1st Bn of KRRC in Italy to stay and play poker with the 12th Bn in Hanover, and then from Ostend by boat. This was a highly irregular route back but my Colonel, Sydney de Salis, gave me, without any authority, and Leslie Mackay, who came for the ride, an all-embracing "Movement Order" to say we could go where we pleased, including the American Zone in Germany. We travelled in a White scout car with my servant Rifleman Harry Deane, and Rifleman O'Connor, who drove the Command White when I was Adjutant.

The starting place for all such inquiries should be with the work of Charles S. Maier, who does list Allied intervention as one of the reasons, but not the most important.

Q: Can we start at the beginning? Could you tell me when and where you were born? VAN HEUVEN: I was born in Europe in the Netherlands in a city called Utrecht, best known for the Peace of Utrecht of 1713. I was the first child of parents who both came from Utrecht. My father was an eye surgeon. My mother studied law but never practiced. Q: In what year were you born? VAN HEUVEN: In 193Utrecht was a university city. Since both my father and mother had degrees from the University, my family was part of the Utrecht nomenklatura. On my father's side my ancestors for several centuries were teachers. On my mother's side, my grandfather was also a doctor. His parents were farmers. So mine was a very Dutch family.

Time has not diminished the value of the searching question. Nor of the direct reply. □ We who make Seagram’s V.O. Canadian Whisky stress an important fact. It is to our own advantage to maintain the high standard of excellence which has be¬ come the Seagram tradition. The quality of V.O. is our most valuable asset. It says more for our knowledge and integrity in one sip than we could express in a hundred sentences. □ Let us say merely that many people of discerning taste consider Seagram’s V.O. to be the world’s finest whisky.

    Library of Congress Interview with Bruce A. Flatin The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project BRUCE A. FLATIN Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: January 27, 1993 Copyright 1998 ADST Q: Today is January 27, 1993. This is an interview with Bruce A. Flatin and it's being done on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies. I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. Bruce, I wonder if you could give me a bit about your background? When were you born? Where you grew up, and a little about your early education, and maybe about your family. FLATIN: I was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1930. I attended the University of Minnesota where I got a Bachelor's degree in history as a major, and political science as a minor. I did further graduate studies at Johns Hopkins, and I got an MA degree subsequently from Boston University, in international relations. My wife is from St. Paul; we have four children and seven grandchildren. Q: When did you get that latter degree? FLATIN: 1967. Q: When you were growing up in Minnesota did anything attract you towards the Foreign Service? Interview with Bruce A. Flatin http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib000380 Library of Congress FLATIN: Yes, I had a professor at the University of Minnesota who called me in one day to ask me whether I knew about the Foreign Service. Like most people in the Middle West, I had not heard much about it. He explained what the Foreign Service was, and discussed ways in which I could prepare myself for the exam, such as different types of courses I should take.
