СКАЧАТЬ as an intelligence officer as a way of preventing greater conflicts among nations.

      I was often asked, early in my career, how it was that I, the son of a YMCA officer, had joined CIA?

      By the end of my final college semester, I had filled out the endless CIA forms, had been interviewed secretly, and had passed the polygraph. I was ordered to report to Washington a day or two after I took my last examination at Williams and was granted leave to return to campus for the graduation ceremony in June 1951.
