Robert McNamara Dies at 93

I learned a lot from reading this Washington Post article, and this following quote near the end caught my eyes.

“I’m not wealthy, but I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to do, and I decided not to do anything that doesn’t meet two criteria: expand my understanding of the world, and allow me to apply whatever understanding I have in some productive way.” – Robert McNamara

Here is Errol Morris’ documentary “The fog of war: Eleven lessons from the life of Robert S. McNamara“. (you can probably find the rest of the documentary online)

Have a listen to NPR interviewing Morris about McNamara and the “The Fog of War“.
