ABSTRACT

I beg you take an axe to all this forest of prejudice and interest. Harold Macmillan, 19631

The speed and complexity with which military, political, economic, scientific and social factors can interact, and the rapidity of social and political change, make completely anachronistic the type of Intelligence-estimating machinery that leans heavily on elaborately insulated departments studying specialist fields of human activity. Modern conditions demand integration and professionalism.
