I was able to locate at the Library of Congress the unpublished outline of a manuscript by Time magazine writer, John Osborne, that Townsend Hoopes and David Brinkley used to reinforce the official suicide story.
George Raines, the head psychiatrist in charge of Forrestal's care, was, as you know, in Montreal at a conference at the time of Forrestal's death.

 H-Net Review: John L. Harper on FDR and the Creation of the U.N
This is a book which is right about one big, important thing but muddled about some smaller (and a few medium-sized) things.
According to Hoopes and Brinkley, "If he [FDR] really believed that the U.N. could and would become the central arena for managing international affairs--and the specific evidence is thin--it was because he viewed the Security Council as a direct extension of the Big Three Wartime alliance.
The main lesson he drew from the League [of Nations] failure was that responsibility for world peace depended exclusively on the few nations that possessed real power and that they must 'run the world' for an indefinite transitional period after victory; he considered the lesser nations irrelevant to the international policing function.
