Edward M. Korry

Edward Malcolm Korry (1922–2003) was an American diplomat during the administrations of Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon.

Korry, a native of New York, was U.S. Ambassador to Ethiopia (1963) and to Chile (1967-1971). Prior to be appointed to Ethiopia by John F. Kennedy, Korry was European editor for "Look" magazine and a United Press correspondent in post-World War II Europe. In 1972 and 1973, he was president of the Association of American Publishers, and later, he was president of the United Nations Association of the United States of America. Korry was also a founding director of the Committee for East-West Relations and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. In 1981, "The New York Times", in what "Time" magazine called a "2,300-word correction," wrote that although the CIA had attempted to orchestrate a military takeover in Chile, "none of this, it is now evident, was known to Ambassador Korry."

Korry died from cancer on 29 January 2003 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
