		I did not have the good fortune to know George Ball personally but I learned of his reputation some time ago and it seems clear to me that his influence in helping to shape a wonderfully supportive RASC chapter is something that all of us including newcomers like me benefit from.

		George's passion for astronomy spurred many on to greater heights and his creative abilities were legendary.

	George Ball's Mideast Views Were Muffled by U.S. Media
		Ball's objection to U.S. involvement in an Asian war was based on his own vision of the United States, a unified Europe and the Soviet Union finally reaching a rapprochement that would bring their extraordinarily wasteful military competition to a halt.
		Ball had not reached these conclusions, and his role as second man in the State Department during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, from an ivory tower.
		Ball's point was that Muslim Iran had fallen into the hands of barbarians whose conduct was not condoned by either Islamic law or Persian traditions.

		The cover photo -- Ball in his disheveled office, surrounded by heaps of books and papers, with the turned-up brow suggestive of sagacity and wit -- nicely captures the character of this intelligent and prescient diplomat.
		The book concludes with an extended contrast between Ball and Henry Kissinger that is overdrawn but makes the right assumption: that students learn of wisdom and prudence in statecraft by observing the wise and prudent in action.
		That George Ball was one such is convincingly shown in this admirable study.

	Book Reviews: George Ball: Behind the Scenes in U.S. Foreign Policy
		Ball's only error was that he underestimated the magnitude of the mistake the United States was about to make.
		Ball's foresight on the Middle East as well as on European and Asian matters was demonstrated in a series of books, speeches and articles.
		Ball faulted Kissinger's admiration for the megalomaniacal late Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, whose delusions of grandeur fed by Kissinger's lavish public admiration led almost inevitably to the shah's exile in the 1978-1979 political upheaval in Iran.

		George Ball was also an insider, a well-connected lawyer who adroitly slid between the worlds of business and government.
		Ball waked a tightrope between endorsing the pro-business stance that favored the Katangan secession and the idealistic hope for political unity.
		Ball never really adhered to these values, for true liberalism considers the interests of average Americans who are always called on by the multinational interests to make painful adjustments to market forces.

	23659 Company Sergeant Major George Edward Ball, Royal Engineers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		According to his birth certificate, George Edward Ball was born at 12 Gunner Street in the sub-district of Landport, in the district of Portsmouth, in the County of Southampton on the 29th of March 1868.
		George and Rachel Ball were married in 1895, but it was not until 1908 that he was brought on the married rolls.
		The word preceding the name "John Ball" appears to be "Brother." George was not known to have a brother names John; hence, this may be one of those problems with deciphering a smudge (and poorly written) word in the record.

	StGeorge :: The Annual St. George's Ball
		Held on the nearest Saturday to St. George's Day, 23rd April each year, the Ball has the twin objective of raising funds for our many charitable projects and of celebrating St. George's Day as a truly English experience for our guests of many nationalities in such a cosmopolitan city as Bangkok.
		In 1996, the Society took the decision to significantly uplift the entertainment for the Ball, and thanks to generous sponsorship, we were able to bring a 28 man Royal Marines Band from Portsmouth in the UK.
		So, for the 42nd Annual Ball held on 26th April 2002, thanks to some new and some old sponsorship, the Ball went ahead and 460 people enjoyed cocktails before sitting down to dinner at The Siam Inter-Continental Hotel in Bangkok.
