So I find the larger the undertaking to accommodate the specialization, the lower level of mental capability comes to bear. I don’t have anything against anybody I assure you. We don’t have good and bad people. We don’t really have brights and dulls, because I think everybody is really born with extraordinary capabilities but we get them shut off. The valves get closed off by the older peoples’ fear that the children are going to get into trouble doing this or that. … Here then is the pattern of specialization really not working; and how it happens that as we get into the larger responsibilities, really the lower the order of capability being brought to bear. And when we get to international affairs you can see where we are. We could really just not have any lower kind of capability.
