The Engineer who was not Interested in Engineering

This was me, who graduated in 1959 from the U of Illinois as an Electronic Engineer.

I was what the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) was looking for - an engineer who could be part of the Cold War, where the US and the USSR competed to see who was the most foolish. The US won.

It was not quite that simple, as the book The Fifties says, but it was almost that simple. Right now I am reading about the Alger Hiss trial, that showed how stupid Americans were.
