That's how I've always felt, too. I think Henderson did a complete turnaround. Straker saved
his arse. Henderson knew only he could get the appropriations to get SHADO started. And he
felt (along with everyone else) that Straker was the only man for the job. Henderson was just as
interested in getting all the funds they need to operate SHADO as Straker was. He seemed to look
upon Starker as his son. And then in subsequent episodes, he was completely different.
