==Early Life and Education== James Jesus Angleton was born on December 9, 1917, in Boise, Idaho, to James Hugh Angleton, a cavalry officer and businessman with the National Cash Register Company (NCR), and Carmen Mercedes Moreno, a Mexican-American from Arizona. His father’s work relocated the family to Milan, Italy, in 1933, where Angleton immersed himself in European culture, attending Malvern College in England and becoming fluent in Italian. Returning to the U.S., he enrolled at Yale University in 1937, majoring in English and co-founding the literary magazine Furioso, which published poets like Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot. His intellectual intensity, cryptic demeanor, and passion for poetry, fly-fishing, and orchids earned him the nickname “the Poet.” Graduating in 1941, he briefly attended Harvard Law School but left in 1943 to join the military.
