The Housewife Assassin's Deadly Dossier - Plot & Excerpts
RASCLS Back in the day, when the CIA recruited its agents, assets and operatives, it looked for certain emotional criteria that could be summed up in the acronym, MICE—that is money, ideology, coercion, and ego. The terms are self-explanatory. That said, persons of interest who are motivated by any of these factors would be ripe for the plucking and training as spies. (The “c” and the “e” may also stand for compromise and extortion. As with most of the spy world, one must always leave room for flexibility, depending on the circumstances—even as it pertains to mnemonics.) Staying in step with the times, today’s CIA has honed its wish list, now relying on these six influential factors, which go by the acronym RASCLS, and involve: reciprocation (extending a kindness because human nature is driven to pay it back, if not forward); authority (belief comes with respect to those who invite you to play, and in proving one’s self to them, and being rewarded with authority of your own); scarcity (“This is your chance, it’s now or never...”); commitment (to the cause, proven during an ongoing series of more important actions); liking (welcome to our exclusive little club!), and social proof (proving one’s commitment with public acts).
