My Take
Michael Morell occupies the opposite end of celebrity from most names in this database, and that contrast is exactly why he interests me. Rising from Cuyahoga Falls and the University of Akron to deputy director of the CIA, serving twice as acting director and briefing presidents, he spent a career reading the world's hidden machinery while the rest of us slept. There is something deeply respectable about that kind of unglamorous, high-stakes service. Now teaching policy and government, he is passing hard-won judgment to the next generation. The most consequential people are rarely the most visible, and Morell embodies that truth.
