...point she mentions in passing that Bill was "weathering controversies over gays in the military and his nominations for Attorney General." His nominations? The First Lady was intimately involved in the selection process, insistent that one of the top four Cabinet officers be a woman. These were, arguably, her nominations as much as his. Her account of the great health-insurance disaster is sketchy to the point of emaciation. She never even describes what her plan was or why she was so unwilling to compromise. It is defeated not on its merits or because of her stubbornness, she says...

The agency's new director is former human-rights lawyer Ko Young Koo, who fought to get Kim Nak Joong, the aforementioned scholar, released a decade ago. "We need someone who will set the agency straight," Roh told his Cabinet in late April. New management is just the beginning. Under a reform blueprint announced last month, the agency's domestic-spying operations will be curtailed and its anticommunist bureau abolished, according to an NIS spokesman. Hundreds of operatives whose jobs were to infiltrate "subversive" groups, including labor unions, now have...
