...profession is history; my avocation is sailing. I combined them." On more than four occasions since 1937, and with kindred spirits of the Harvard Columbus Expedition, Morison went forth upon the ocean in the wake of his hero, the Admiral. He returned with a tale, stranger than any fiction, and as salty...

That support is probably the reason Washington seems to have accepted the fiction that Pakistan's profligate nuclear proliferation over the past decade was all the work of a single rogue scientist who supposedly managed to export the country's nuclear weapons technology unbeknownst to the military - and who, in turn, appears to have also been forgiven after appearing on TV in Pakistan and saying...
