Paul Seabury

Born in Hempstead, Long Island, Seabury was a native New Yorker. He graduated from Swarthmore College in 1946, and from Columbia University with a Ph.D. He taught at the University of California, Berkeley starting in 1953.[2] Once a national official of the liberal Americans for Democratic Action, after the tumultuous era of student revolt at Berkeley, he became a leading spokesman for the first American neo-conservatives. He was part of the Consortium for the Study of Intelligence, which fostered intelligence studies in American universities. He served on the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board during the Reagan Administration.[3] He married Marie-Anne Phelps; they had two sons. His papers are held at the Hoover Institution.[4] He died in Pinole, California.[1]

Seabury was a great player of croquet, and edited a book on the game for Abercrombie and Fitch.[5]
