We do not choose to be brought into this world. Some believe our lives are predetermined; others say we choose the paths we walk. Still others insist it is a combination of both. What I do know: We are continually evolving and hopefully using our past experiences to reach out to others. Hence the birth of Above His Shoulders. My goal is to bring others along on my journey. At a young age I was sexually abused by my cousin. I carried those horrific events with me for many years. A part of my childhood was stolen. The effects impacted my relationships and brought me on a journey of anger, rage, depression, and feelings of isolation. Dreams of flight were frequent. My travels and therapy were a life-long process leading up to a moment where I could confront my perpetrator and feel more confident in who I was. Redemption, I have learned is earned, it takes time, patience, and perseverance.Healing not only comes from within, but learning that it is "ok" to ask for help. Dreams of flight continue, not flying away, but flying toward future goals. My intention is others will benefit and learn there is hope, there is a rainbow at the end of all thunderstorms.- In peace and healing, Dan Williams.

A Look over My Shoulder begins with President Nixon’s attempt to embroil the Central Intelligence Agency, of which Richard Helms was then the director, in the Watergate cover-up. Helms then recalls his education in Switzerland and Germany and at Williams College; his early career as a foreign correspondent in Berlin, during which he once lunched with Hitler; and his return to newspaper work in the United States. Helms served on the German desk at OSS headquarters in London; subsequently, he was assigned to Allen Dulles’s Berlin office in postwar Germany. On his return to Washington, Helms assumed responsibility for the OSS carryover operations in Germany, Austria, and Eastern Europe. He remained in this post until the Central Intelligence Agency was formed in 1947. At CIA, Helms served in many positions, ultimately becoming the organization’s director from 1966 to 1973. He was appointed ambassador to Iran later that year and retired from government service in January 1977. It was often thought that Richard Helms, who served longer in the Central Intelligence Agency than anyone else, would never tell his story, but here it is–revealing, news-making, and with candid assessments of the controversies and triumphs of a remarkable career.
