What the subcommittee found was that while the largest and most feared civilian bureaucracy (total employees: 123,000) routinely clamps down on its low-level miscreants, it is prone to ignore wrongdoing by members of its old- boy network. At the same time, IRS managers appear to be so concerned with the agency's public image that they would rather suppress whistleblowers than root out unethical and illegal activity. Last week's hearings explored the results of a year-long probe by the subcommittee, which found evidence of misconduct and cover-ups involving more than 25 top IRS officials...
...Soviets appear willing to accept increasingly intrusive inspections. To win U.S. ratification of the 1974 Threshold Test Ban Treaty -- still unapproved because of Senate doubts about verification -- the Soviets permitted American teams to monitor an underground test in Soviet Central Asia. In recent weeks Moscow has allowed Americans to inspect cruise missiles aboard a cruiser in the Black Sea and sanctioned a visit to the Sary Shagan complex, which the Pentagon had claimed, erroneously, housed an antisatellite laser...

Several of Bush's diplomatic picks appear to know next to nothing about the countries to which they are being sent. What they have shown is a deep loyalty to Republican Party causes and, in many cases, the wherewithal to prove that loyalty with cash. Among them...
...Ephron says, "People who live in cities aren't in car chases. We don't get shot at. What we mainly do is talk on the phone and have dinner." Her film and sex, lies serve up the urban scene at its most urbane. Clean taxis and great apartments appear in a trice, and no one's upscale job deprives him of quality time for soul scratching. But in both films the surface prettiness is just a device; it clears the cityscape of its daily detritus to focus on what matters: love, sex and friendship...
