Title

Kenneth on Getting a Job with the Psychological Strategy Board

Description

Needing a new position since his had been eliminated, Kenneth stumbles upon the Psychological Strategy Board. After talking with Elmur Staats, Kenneth found himself a job overseeing the area from Afghanistan to Vietnam to Indonesia, although Staats was originally cautious about the appointment as he thought Kenneth might be limited geographically. Through some carefully placed contacts, Kenneth was able to go about switching jobs without the knowledge of Walter Roberston or John Foster Dulles.
