"He earned a doctorate at Harvard, joined the RAND Corporation
and began studying game theory as applied to crisis situations
and nuclear warfare. In the 1960s, he conferred on Washington’s
responses to the Cuban missile crisis and North Vietnamese
attacks on American ships in the Gulf of Tonkin.
By 1964, Mr. Ellsberg was an adviser to Defense Secretary
Robert S. McNamara."

Interstices
Perhaps Crossan should have consulted Galois, not Piaget . . .
From Hermann Weyl's 1952 classic Symmetry —
"Galois' ideas, which for several decades remained
a book with seven seals but later exerted a more
and more profound influence upon the whole
development of mathematics, are contained in
a farewell letter written to a friend on the eve of
his death, which he met in a silly duel at the age of
twenty-one. This letter, if judged by the novelty and
profundity of ideas it contains, is perhaps the most
substantial piece of writing in the whole literature
of mankind."
