Summary:
Philip P. Browne was raised in an ordinary family on Planet Pittsburgh. He was the only child of two working class parents. After finished regular schooling Browne was offered a scholarship to go to the University of Manhattan, where he excelled in the field of non-intrusive experimental psychology, not using drugs, torture or other means to achieve the goal. At the time a growing peace movement flourished at the university, so the Professors took kindly to Browne's work awarding him the highest honors upon graduation. He then served shortly in the Navy before LPI took him on. At Sugarland he had his own special unit with prisoners from different and opposed Sirius criminal factions, and through a series of social experiments he tried to achieve peace and harmony between the prisoners. The experiment culminated after 2 years with a total riot in the special unit, resulting in the death of one LPI prison guard and 78 prisoners. The experiment failed, but Browne had his valuable research, and published several volumes on the subject. On a conference for Liberty psychologists on Planet Erie 802 A.S. he was approached by the famous and brilliant Dr. Strohan and following joined the LSF and relocated to Ellesmere. Browne has been assisting the LSF in its analytical work but his primary role has been teaching recruits in mandatory classes such as '€Prison handling: How to avoid law suits'€, his soft approach and choice of subject not being the most popular among young LSF recruits. The esteemed LSF Ace Pilot Bucky Stevens summed up Browne's teachings in the following words: '€True, a Xeno in a Starflier would no doubt blast him into spacedust, but chances are Browne would have talked the Xeno to death before that would ever happen'€.
