Nice graf from a Paul Samuelson obit

"He had a mixed experience advising policymakers, such as Kennedy and other presidents, first-hand. 'Often when I became a consultant to a federal agency, that precipitated its demise,' he admitted. And day-to-day policy work held few attractions. He often boasted that he had never been in Washington for as long as a week."
