It was eleven years, 1990." There were "a ton of former CIA officers in our neighborhood." His father "worked for the government," and CIA officers, from his perspective as a child, were like kind of dashing, physically brave intellectuals, including "some guy who'd studied classics at Yale who wound up in Beirut as station chief."
