…a reader helps me out on Tibet:

I understand the relevant history to be that US and India conducted some covert ops ala Special Forces and CIA assistance to Tibetan resistance under Allen Dulles and early CIA ex-OSS staffers.. The nub was that Kennedy appointed JK Galbraith as US AMB to India – When briefed about the ongoing covert ops, Galbraith balked and immediately demanded JFK terminate the operation. There are some recently declassified studies and books published as a result on the topic.

We shall see what Derb makes of all this when he’s on break.
