Hilarious story about Penrose.

No idea if it is true

http://www.ctka.net/pr700-ang.html

Love this quote

“But in his footnotes, he admits that Penrose, against whom this operation was conducted, suffered a near-breakdown as a result, and was transferred to less stressful jobs. [Penrose] and various other top people in SI (with a few conspicuous exceptions, such as Richard Helms, who defected to X-2 and went on to become the CIA’s director) were generally thought to be ‘too Christ-like for the spy business,’ as Mother put it.”

Penrose was offered the presidency of the American College in spring of 1945 but turned it down.
