From a letter to Johns Hopkins in September 1998. This experience with a bureaucrat in San Luis Obispo gave me a moment of terror: I had quit my job expecting to retire and draw Social Security and this woman with great delight declared she would deny me my pension. Bureaucrats should not serve more than three or four years because many of them decide the money they administer is theirs and because so many actually find ways of making some of it theirs. My chest aches even now reading this letter again.
