I want to congratulate Erika Rogers and her team in the Alumni Office for the vision and Weffort that went into creating this fresh look to the magazine. In this issue, you will find that we are highlighting the power of sports in adolescent development. Many of you experienced the transformative power of sport during your time at Dublin School and we wanted to share with you the wonderful things taking place on our teams at Dublin today. 2 THE DUBLINER The photo on the cover captures so much of what is right about sports at Dublin. It Dublin School features mountain biking, one of our newest and most popular sports, and one that Board of Trustees takes full advantage of our beautiful 400 acre campus. When I think of the excite- 2013-2014 ment that accompanied the growing sport of skiing in the United States in the 1940’s President Peter Imhoff P ’13 and 1950’s I see parallels to the growth of mountain biking as a sport today. It fulfills Dublin, NH Paul Lehmann’s goal of getting kids outside, exercising vigorously, and working as a Co-Vice Presidents team to learn new skills. The expression on junior Myles Spencer’s face, with “Truth Michael J. Mullins ’93 Boston, MA and Courage” on his shoulders, captures the grit and determination that we work to L. Phillips Runyon III P ’88, ’92 develop in our young men and women. I would describe Myles as the classic Dublin Peterborough, NH Treasurer student; a strong student, a kind and thoughtful person, and confident as both an George B. Foote, Jr. individual and as a member of a team. Myles is a strong oarsman, a leader on our Dublin, NH robotics team and is currently conducting an independent study into autonomous Secretary Sharron Smith P ’92 robotic navigation with Dr. Kennedy. And, I almost forgot, he built the bike he is rac- Hinsdale, NH ing in the photo! Trustees We hope you enjoy the stories you will find between these covers and we also hope William A.

These relations evolved under conditions in which both countries understood and valued the need for cooperation, but also were aware of its limits and the dangers of too close a partnership. U.S. security dealings with Saudi Arabia are an extreme, perhaps unique, case of how security ties unfolded under conditions in which sensitivities to those ties were always a central —oftentimes dominating—consideration. This was especially true in the most delicate area of military assistance. Distinct patterns of behavior by the two countries emerged as a result, patterns that continue to this day. This dissertation examines the first twenty years of the U.S.-Saudi military assistance relationship. It seeks to identify the principal factors responsible for how and why the military assistance process evolved as it did, focusing on the objectives and constraints of both U.S.

    CHAPTER 1 SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS: Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933 CHAPTER 1 8 SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933 World War I created a diplomatic security crisis for the United States. Under Secretary of State Joseph C. Grew afterwards would describe the era before the war as “diplomatic serenity – a fool’s paradise.” In retrospect, Grew’s observation indicates more the degree to which World War I altered how U.S. officials perceived diplomatic security than the actual state of pre-war security.1 During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Department had developed an effective set of security measures; however, those measures were developed during a long era of trans-Atlantic peace (there had been no major multi-national wars since Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo in 1814). Moreover, those measures were developed for a nation that was a regional power, not a world power exercising influence in multiple parts of the world. World War I fundamentally altered international politics, global economics, and diplomatic relations and thrust the United States onto the world stage as a key world power. Consequently, U.S. policymakers and diplomats developed a profound sense of insecurity regarding the content of U.S. Government information. The sharp contrast between the pre- and post-World War I eras led U.S. diplomats like Grew to cast the pre-war era in near-idyllic, carefree terms, when in fact the Department had developed several diplomatic security measures to counter acknowledged threats.

The periods covered include the gradual movement of Yugoslavia from British sphere to American sphere through American involvement in the Tito-Subasi6 Agreement, the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, and the Yalta agreements. Following the end of World War II, diplomatic rela- tions cooled because of the Mihailovic and Stepinac trials, the loss of two American aircraft over Yugoslavia, and the Trieste clashes.
