Barnes, Bart. "Lucien E. Conein Dies at 79: Fabled Agent for OSS and CIA." Washington Post, 6 Jun. 1998, B6. [http://www.washingtonpost.com]
"Lucien E. Conein, 79, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and covert intelligence agent whose career ranged from landing by aircraft in Nazi-occupied France during World War II to participation in the coup d'etat that brought down South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem in 1963, died June 3 at Suburban Hospital....
"Col. Conein's career also included orchestrating the infiltration of spies and saboteurs into Eastern Europe after World War II, training paramilitary forces in Iran and a secret mission to organize anti-communist guerrillas in North Vietnam after the country was partitioned following the French defeat in Indochina in 1954.
"He retired from the military and CIA in 1968 but later joined the Drug Enforcement Administration, where he directed an intelligence-gathering and operations unit until his civilian retirement in 1984."
Conein became "the stuff of legend and romance in the intelligence community. Author David Halberstam, writing in 'The Best and the Brightest,' described him as 'someone sprung to life from a pulp adventure.' Stanley Karnow, in 'Vietnam: A History,' said he was an 'eccentric, boisterous, often uncontrollable yet deeply sensitive and thoroughly professional agent.' Henry Cabot Lodge, President John F. Kennedy's ambassador to South Vietnam, called him 'the indispensable man' and a vital liaison between the U.S. Embassy and the South Vietnamese generals who plotted the overthrow and subsequent assassination of Diem in 1963....
"Col. Conein's decorations included a Distinguished Service Cross, a Silver Star with Oak Leaf Cluster, a Bronze Star and the CIA's Intelligence Star."
Clark comment: I cannot allow the passing of Conein without noting that whether his stories were true or not is immaterial; they should have been.

Clark comment: The author was Deputy Director and Director of the Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) from 1976 to 1985. He came to those positions after a 20-year career with the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS). Although this memoir "engages in no whistle-blowing," Wark, I&NS 5.3, sees it telling "a great deal about how one intelligence chief viewed the nature of his task." In addition, the author "provides a useful potted history of the evolution of Australian intelligence" since World War II.

Simpson: "This paper explores the range of possible connections between climate change and security. It discusses the widely held assumption that climate change will trigger violent conflict, arguing that if they occur such conflicts are likely to be at the local rather than international scale, in weak states and in climate sensitive regions."
