Dave:

I had the opportunity to study with Herman on two occasions back in the 
late 60s and early 70s. His insights and moral (yes moral) character was 
THE driving force for the most insightful cutting-edge forward thinking; 
some say (and I agree) Herman's ability to peer into the abyss was the 
reason United States has not, thus far found itself engaged in a nuclear 
war.(All the more surprising considering that hair-trigger, 'Nuke 'em back 
to the Stone age' "Cold War" period.)  The work done by Herman and his 
associates at his Hudson Institute, remains a beacon of clarity compared to 
the current Indianapolis/Washington D.C. based Institute that lamely 
attempts to carry forth spectacular work.
