Oh, my, I really appreciate this. I've been wanting to do the same thing, especially with the personnel, for years!
These are the right positions, if you had to pick exactly this number of offices. And I really like that you threw in the DJIA. I am printing this fucker right now. Nice work. Only thing is to distinguish NSA from NSA, but since you left off the NSA (that's the next item I'd add, if I were expanding it), it's dandy.
I'm printing this right now!
Can anyone even name DIA and ONI heads? How to show the periods of highest influence of mandarins, think-tanks and ruling class busybodies is another question. In government I'm talking about people like Wohlstetter, Andrew Marshall, Team B, Perle/Wolfowitz, among private operators Samuel Huntington, David Rockefeller, RAND, CFR, AEI, Committee for Present Danger, Project for a New American Century, i.e., who is are the dominant "muses" at any given time. Just starting that list makes me realize how little I know, and how the more you know, the less you know you know.

The other NSA would be a good addition. I just looked up a list of the directors and I was embarrassed to say that I had no idea who 2/3 of them are. Gonna look up DIA and ONI too, and to be honest I couldn't even tell you who the *current* directors of those are.
I've added PNAC and RAND. CFR and AEI originate before the period I focused on here, but it might be good to list some of their top members?
It was hard figuring out how many "players" to limit the chart to, as it's a bit more than an eyeful already, but I'll keep thinking about it. Thanks for the feedback!
