Carl Kaysen (March 5, 1920 –

February 8, 2010) was an American academic, policy advisor and international

security specialist at the Massachusetts

Institute of Technology (MIT) and co-chair of the Committee

on International Security Studies at the American

Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is the father of Girl, Interrupted author Susanna Kaysen. He was married for 50 years to Annette Neutra

until her death in 1990. In 1994, he married Ruth Butler. Carl Kaysen worked

for President John F. Kennedy as Deputy National Security

Advisor, and was directly under National

Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy. Kaysen took over the position from Walt Rostow in 1961

and concentrated on the key issues of the Kennedy Administration such as

nuclear weapons, foreign trade, international economic policy and international

security policy. On President Kennedy's orders, Kaysen prepared a report on how

to utilize the US nuclear arsenal to preemptively destroy the Soviet Union’s

nuclear capacity and its ability to retaliate with nuclear weapons. Kaysen was

also a good friend of long-serving Greek Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou, whom

he had met at Harvard. After Greece was taken over by a military junta in 1967,

Kaysen and John Kenneth Galbraith were

instrumental in convincing President Lyndon B. Johnson to decisively intervene in order to

secure Papandreou's release from prison. Kaysen was born in Philadelphia, the

son of Elizabeth and Samuel Kaysen. Kaysen received his

B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1940 where he was

elected Phi Beta Kappa and

was a member of the Philomathean Society. He received both his M.S. in 1947, and

Ph.D. in 1954 from Harvard University in Economics. He also did graduate study at Columbia University from

1940 to 1946.
