Abstract
I realize how unusual it is for outside advisers to be given as active a role in the formulation of policy as we eventually had. (Fischer 1995, 3)

Notes
- 1.
For example, the adviser may be insufficiently sociable and therefore fail to establish rapport with his hosts.
- 2.
For example, the adviser may fail to learn enough about how the economy actually works and/or fail to assess major noneconomic factors.
- 3.
For example, the adviser may ignore the tendency of the public to misinterpret his public statements and attribute to him political positions that he does not hold.
