1947: Joined CIA & served as division chief & executive assistant to very demanding DCI, Walter Bedell Smith. http://1.usa.gov/1jLlyP0

At the age of 36, Lyman thought he had a bad cold, but it turned out to be polio, which required months of recovery & rehab.
#OSS75 -
At that time, polio halted a clandestine career, but Lyman went on to senior CIA jobs, including Inspector General & Executive Dir.
#OSS75 -
In tribute to his willingness to take independent & sometimes unpopular stances, Lyman’s staff nicknamed him “Hell on Wheels.”
#OSS75 -
Lyman’s performance earned him the National Civil Service Award & the President’s Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service.
#OSS75 -
After leaving CIA, Lyman taught political science at
@BrownUniversity & wrote several books, including "The Real CIA" (1968).#OSS75 -
Lyman has been called the best director CIA never had & was named one of our first 50 Trailblazers in 1997. http://1.usa.gov/1MidWOU
