"In 1962 the idea that deep cover agents could be hypnotized and programmed to carry out the orders of foreign enemies was taken as science fiction or fantasy. Now we aren’t so sure." That's a curious statement to make, by reviewer Erickson. Am I missing something here? I don't actually know anyone who believes that sort of hypnosis is possible. -- Helge
