Well HE didnt think he was retired despite being 95 when you
heard him speak (he was born in 1891). When over 100 years old he 
claimed to be billing $1000 a day for consulting (coincientally 
the same day fee that our very own semi-retired Travis claimed
to bill). See http://www.bway.net/~drstu/chapter.html for a quick 
overview of this fascinating character. 

Of course you do realize that he had NOTHING to do with
CIA activity in Guatemala in 1954. And you do realize that
we have a nut loose around here that KNOWS that the Jew
Bernays was somewhere lurking around behind the bad stuff 
the gummint was doing in 1954.
