- Abstract
- Reveals Capra’s doubts about a scientific career: “For the last couple years I have been deceiving myself and others into believing that I would make a good engineer or chemist. I have come to think differently now, and...I believe the things that I’m temperamentally fit for are music, drama, or dealing with humans such as is offered by diplomatic service...” Scherer Papers.
