...danger of "floating authorization." Thus Richard Helms, CIA director from 1966 to 1973, testified that as deputy director he had not informed incoming Director John McCone (1961-65) about the use of Mafia characters in the Castro plots. As Helms told the committee, Allen Dulles, McCone's predecessor, had approved the plan and further authorization was unnecessary...

There is, however, something missing that makes Wish You Were Here a cut below its predecessor. No where on this album is found the grating guitar solo of "Time" or the rasping saxophone of "Money."
