Rand
(In 1962 my dad was recruited full time to the Rand corporation from Boeing. He had worked as a consultant for them many times before. By then the party was almost over. He moved down the street to SDC.Systems Development Corporation. where he did good work)
RAND’s halcyon days lasted two decades, during which the corporation produced some of the most influential developments in science and American foreign policy. So how did it become just another think tank?

thanks for this, Rand is super interesting to me 👍
I have many stories about Rand, that my father told me. Both working as a consultant and a full-time engineer.
My dad was a strange one,
He got an advanced engineering degree before World War II, and when came back. He got an advanced degree in psychology. A unique combination.
