...Boland amendment apply to the National Security Council? The White House contends that the NSC does not fit the definition of an "entity engaged in intelligence activities." A secret opinion by the President's Intelligence Oversight Board took this approach in 1985. Former Watergate Prosecutor Philip Lacovara agrees that if Congress intended the amendment to apply to "other than those persons connected with official intelligence agencies, it could and should have said so." But many experts agree with Tribe that NSC officials were clearly "acting as intelligence agents." Even Robert McFarlane testified that it was his "common-sense judgment" that...
...with its Commemorative Collectors Edition, encased in elegant gold-lacquered tin and extolled for its "meticulous detail and masterful craftsmanship" (up to $129.95).

"From now on," he told a Chattanooga, Tenn., high school, "if aircraft approach any of our ships in a way that appears hostile, there is one order of battle: defend yourselves, defend American lives...
...kitsch chinoiserie. There are lots of "Ah so"s and "Honorable sirs" and wavings of fans here, which in almost any other context would look offensively cliched but here fit in perfectly with Brecht's consciously artificial evocation of China. The odd thing about Serban's kitchen sink approach is that he seems to borrow almost as many Japanese conventions as Chinese, suggesting that Serban has been dealing his Orientalism from a rather shallow supply. But who cares, when the production works so well...
