Ray Cromley reviews the rise of John Hemenway as president of the American Foreign Service Association and the likely impact on Henry Kissinger's tenure. Hemenway has long criticized high level foreign service practices, pushed for reforms, and may press Congress for a tougher grievance system while challenging ambassadorial choices and promotions. He is a persistent critic who testifies before the Senate and has accused State officers of corruption and mismanagement.
