When Robert S. McNammara gave up his job as President of the Ford Motor Company in 1961- just a few months after he had promoted to that position – to become President Kennedy’s Secretary of Defense , he also gave up one of the most lucrative jobs in industry. A newspaper reporter asked him at the time how much the job had cost him. “More than I would like to say” Mr. MacNammara replied . “There will be profits foregone of approximately 3,000,000 during the next three or four years.” The “profits foregone” turned out to be even greater, since his tour of Cabinet duty continued for more than seven years. During that time he not only completely reorganized the Department of Defense – making it in the opinion of many, the most efficiently run department in the government – but also became the trusted advisor to two presidents under which he served on many problems which fell outside the strict purview of his office.

His well known ability and abilities to store a myriad of facts and figures in his brain and to extract them on demand is awesome. According to Henry Ford II . ” things that most men have to turn to in books and reports for , Bob carries around right in his head”. This computer like ability tends to obscure the public’s mind a contrasting deeply humanistic quality which his close associates have long been aware of.
