The author combines still frames from old black and white films with fabricated quotes, poking a little fun at common situations and challenges faced by members of the Foreign Service. This appears to be a compilation of items that appeared over time. The Foreign Service Journal is a monthly publication of the American Foreign Service Association. It covers foreign affairs from the perspective of American Foreign Service personnel, members of Washington's foreign policy establishment, as well as features on living overseas as a foreign affairs professional. The publication currently has a circulation of 17,500 with approximately 35,000 readers. The American Foreign Service Association was preceded by The American Consular Service Association which was founded in the spring of 1918. In March 1919 the American Consular Service Association published the first issue of the American Consular Bulletin. The diplomatic and consular branches of the State Department were combined into a single Foreign Service by the Rogers Act of 1924 and, as a result, the American Consular Service Association gave way to the American Foreign Service Association. It was decided to continue the monthly American Consular Bulletin as the official publication of the expanded association. In 1924, with the October issue, the title was changed to American Foreign Service Journal. The name was shortened to the Foreign Service Journal, with the August, 1951, issue. Robert Watland Rinden (1914-) was a Career Foreign Service Officer who served as Chargé d'Affaires ad interim (Guinea) starting on February 13, 1959. Seymour I. Nadler in 1944, was recruited by the Office of Strategic Services, the OSS, and sent to China, where he became part of a unit doing black propaganda work. In early 1947, he was a vice consul in Tientsin, China, in charge of the visa section and also working for another agency. I returned to the U.S. in early 1949 and in 1951 was given another dual assignment, this time in Singapore. The other part of the dual assignment was with USIA and I discovered that I was liking this part of the work more and more. He returned to the States in mid-1953. In 1954, I became Chief Public Affairs Officer (CPAO) in Taipei, Taiwan. This was not a dual assignment, and it could be considered his formal entry into USIA. He later became Deputy Director, then Director USIA Office of Intelligence and Research. Malcolm McLean graduated from Yale University and had a distinguished career in the Foreign Service.
