and who, although he's tremendously interested in the development of underdeveloped countries, never seems to me to face adequately the reason that they're underdeveloped--that their lives are short due to unnecessary diseases.

But she is a great personal friend and ally in other ways.

Then Mike Gorham, who works for me, really works for me as if he were self-employed. The fact that I pay him is something that he seems to not feel; he doesn't really behave as if he were paid to do anything. He does exactly what he wants, and most of what he wants to do, which is to help Senator Hill and to speak or to write and promote and catalyze for research and training in mental illness and in the whole field of medicine, is what I want him to do anyway. And he is a great ally because he's very clear-headed and very eloquent and very sharp and industrious. He's really a wonderful person to have found to work in Washington as a representative of the National Committee Against Mental Illness. He helps to organize the Senate hearings of outside witnesses for the research institutes every year and to write speeches for Senator Hill and other little jobs of this kind.
