appointment of Anna M. Rosenberg as Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Manpower. Apart from the startling fact that he had chosen a woman,
Mrs. Rosenberg was also an immigrant, Jewish, and an ardent supporter

Pentagon. It is also about a woman who eschewed the feminine networks to
hang her hat with men of power. Looking beyond her politics and gender,
Marshall's choice was a brilliant one.
