David Dean Rusk
A diplomat who served as Secretary of State for the second-longest duration in American history under both the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. Amid the Cold War, his calm negotiations helped avert nuclear disaster during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Conversely, treating the "containment of communism" as an absolute principle, he consistently supported intervention in the Vietnam War. Even when subjected to fierce domestic anti-war sentiment, he steadfastly and quietly supported the president. His unwavering loyalty to his duty continues to be deeply studied in tumultuous modern diplomatic history.
