		The confusion about Acheson begins with something as mundane as his appearance: his famous "aristocratic" bearing, the prominent mustache, the natty clothing, and the mid-Atlantic accent that so grated on Republican Senators in the 1940s and '50s: "this pompous diplomat in striped pants, with the phony British accent," as Senator Joseph McCarthy once put it.
		Acheson did, indeed, believe the Cold War struggle was between good and evil, a view he wanted expressed clearly in NSC 68, the famous planning document whose production he supervised in 1950.

		During his almost eight years in office, therefore, he relied heavily on Dean Acheson, an imposing figure who was at the president's side for his most significant foreign policy achievements--notably, the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan, and the formation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization--and his most difficult problems, including the Korean War.
		The close association enjoyed by Truman and Acheson started in the wake of the 1946 congressional elections, when the Democratic Party, tarred by the brush of the unpopular president, was driven from the majority to the minority side of Congress for the first time since 1929.
		Acheson never ceased to be impressed that Truman "had no trace of imperiousness about him" and never allowed his ego to come "between him and his job." "One could not ask for a commander with more directness, understanding and courage," he wrote to his daughter in 1950.
