When Daniel Ellsberg told Henry Kissinger about the damage having access to high-level secrets would do to his mind

Lots of well deserved remembrances of Ellsberg’s heroism today. I’ll just post my favorite passage from his incredible memoir, Secrets. He’s telling Henry Kissinger (who as many have noted is somehow still alive) what access to truly secret information can do to a person’s mind. pic.twitter.com/Cfne68ouIk
