Review : With the wisdom of
hindsight, many of life's most consequential decisions are often a matter of
happenstance. In the spring of 1965,1 was in Washington, DC, completing my
second year as a Clinical Associate of the National Institute of Mental Health
before I was to return to Boston for a planned career in academic psychiatry,
when a friend from medical school approached me to discuss
"an unusual job
opportunity." Despite having secured a position on the faculty of Harvard
Medical School, I could not resist this provocative invitation. We met for
lunch, and he offered me the opportunity to develop a pilot program for
assessing at a distance the personality and political behavior of foreign
leaders for senior U.S. government officials. A service of common concern, the
unit would be administratively based in the Central Intelligence Agency. I
thought it would be an interesting divertissement and decided to delay for two
years my entering the groves of academe.
