[edit] Why is he "Junior" and other questions

What is his connection to William Lederer other than they were both part of the Cold War, and that Lederer attended the awards dinner where he got the Splendid American Award?

If so, where are references to this?

I too am curious, as to why he's named 'Jr' & not 'II'. Perhaps an explanation, can be added to this article. GoodDay 18:47, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
