.,Williams alumnus makes case for CIA
WILLIAMSTOWN - The
United States is dealing with "an
untidy world" that demands accu-
rate and perceptive intelligence
efforts, former CIA Director
Richard Helms said during a talk
here yesterday morning.
Helms, a member the Class of
1935 at Williams College, spoke
before an audience of several hun-
dred at Chapin Hall during an
alumni reunion weekend seminar
series.
Recent events in the Soviet
Union and Eastern Europe were
no less cataclysmic than the two
world wars, Helms said. We now
face "a united Germany that is
coming right at us," a Soviet
Union with a "basket case" econ-
omy, and an independent Central
Europe for the first time in 40
years, he said.
The United States remains "the
only superpower left." Helms said.
