...also the politics behind it. The corps's flow chart makes clear that civilians are supposed to be in charge, but in reality the outfit has pretty much been allowed to run itself under commander Joe Ballard, a three-star general. Sweeney's allegations spurred Army Secretary Louis Caldera to issue tougher guidelines in March re-asserting civilian control over the corps. But Caldera's efforts generated a rebuke from three senior Republican Senators: Robert Smith of New Hampshire, chairman of the Environment Committee; Ted Stevens of Alaska, who runs the Appropriations panel; and John Warner of Virginia, who heads...
...year in their states and immortalizes its congressional friends with locks and dams named for them. It is no coincidence that the corps's headquarters is not located in some corner of the Pentagon but sits at the foot of Capitol Hill.

Fantastic productions and crisis situations seem to be all in a day's work. The film even tracks a tango-inspired ballet, "Piazzolla Caldera," from initial inspiration to final fruition. Director of photography Tom Hurwitz does a superb job of transporting the audience from intensive rehearsals to exhilarating shows...
...that air campaign was reinforced by a strong ground offensive launched against the Serbs by the Croatians. It was the combination that forced Milosevic to capitulate. The Gulf War taught the same lesson. "It took ground forces to eject Saddam Hussein from Kuwait," says Army Secretary Louis Caldera. "There are limits to what one can do with bombing and cruise missiles." But Bill Clinton has pledged that the U.S. military will be restricted to just those weapons this time. If the Army Secretary knows that grunts on the ground are needed to force the Serbs to stop killing Kosovars...
