Since I posted this, more information relevant to my speculations about a Kerry-Bundy-Hiss link has been posted here:

EWWW! Check out these pictures of John Kerry (Rock band in Prep School & Yale Yearbook Picture) (Posts #40 and 41)

Swarthmore's "world peace foundation" lists HH Bundy Senior in it's membership, along with Alger Hiss (and George Plimpton?!?)

During the 1920s, the WPF hoped to be the official agent in the United States for the sale of League of Nations publications, as well as the International Labor Organization, and the Permanent Court of International Justice. Its primary focus continued to be the dissemination to libraries of literature promoting world order. It worked closely with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to hold conferences about documentary and research problems in the field of international relations. In 1947, WPF began publication of a quarterly, International Organization, which dealt with issuea affecting the United Nations.

After Hiss helped the State Department set up the UN he became President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in 1946 (for a reference see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alger_Hiss).

Kerry's World: Father Knows Best

Richard Kerry's father, a Czech Jew, fled Europe. The son, by contrast, embraced it. As a law student at Harvard in the late '30s, he read continental philosophers like Kierkegaard and histories about Bismarck and Metternich; he traveled to France, where he took sculpture classes and met his wife. Hoping to parlay his love of Europe into a career, he chose international law as his law school specialty. After World War II, which he spent in the Army Air Corps testing new airplanes at high altitudes, he moved his family to Washington to take a spot in the Department of the Navy's Office of General Counsel, hoping that his proximity to the State Department might help him land a job there. Two years into his Washington stint, Kerry's relocation paid off. The State Department's Bureau of United Nations Affairs hired him to help work through the thicket created by America's adherence to a new set of postwar international agreements. According to Brinkley, the cosmopolitan Kerry was a true believer in the United Nations and the postwar promise of global government.

My emphasis on Kerry's father's Harvard Law School background here is meant to draw attention to the fact that Alger Hiss also came to Washington from Harvard Law during this period, courtesy of Agricultural Adjusment Administration general counsel Jerome Frank upon recommendation from Harvard Law School professor Felix Frankfurter, who was acting covertly on behalf of Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, also formerly of Harvard Law School (sources: Kenneth S. Davis, FDR: The New Deal Years, 1933-1937, A History, New York: Random House, 1986, 275-281; John Chabot Smith, Alger Hiss: The True Story, New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1976, 10-12; Joseph P.
