Dear Dr. Shaffer:

The attached letter provides a broad psychological overview of my interpersonal difficulties during my employment at the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld.

I am able to show that there may be at least some superficial psychological relationship among the following factors: (1) the management style of the firm's senior managers, (2) the firm culture that sustained my job harassment, and (3) the fact that Vernon Jordan played a significant role in the Monica Lewinsky matter that led to the impeachment and senate trial of the President of the United States.

Robert S. Strauss, Esq. and Vernon E. Jordan, Esq. are two members of the firm's three-person executive committee.

As I have pointed out before, when a group of persons acquiesce in a narcissistically-disturbed person's grandiose sense of entitlement, it's no longer grandiosity--it is now a powerful authority.

One person who buys himself a compound in Texas and gives himself a biblical name is a nut case; but the hundred people who acquiesce in his grandiosity now have a powerful leader. Bob Strauss didn't buy a compound in Texas, he rented office space on New Hampshire Avenue and renamed it The Robert S. Strauss Building. That's one way of thinking about it.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman
