Thanks David, it's news to me. I was aware that McCain was connected but not that connected.
It never ceases to amaze how the same old names keep coming round again and again, very often it seems to be a generational thing. I recall Jan showing me a copy of a book he was reading last summer that was written by Miles Poindexter, a US Senator and a US Representative and US Ambassador to Peru. I believe (but am not absolutely certain?) that his son is better known to most of us these days, because Admiral John Poindexter inhabited the Reagan Administration as national Security Adviser. Admiral Poindexter graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1958 -- as did his fellow graduate John McCain.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
