...nicknamed the EE 304 cadets after the electrical-engineering course whose take-home examination was the focus of most of the charges. If the academy had followed tradition, none of the expelled cadets could have returned, for they had violated the rigid honor code: "A cadet will not lie, cheat or steal or tolerate those who do." It was only after an agonizing inquiry into the moral fabric of the academy that the Army ruled that any of the 152 cadets who had been kicked out in the scandal could apply for readmission.

This is the skeptical spirit that gave us Watergate, and though it has had no comparable success since (how could it?), the attitude persists.

The Soviet negotiators seek assurance that the U.S. will not evade SALT limits by shipping weapons to its NATO allies...
...Barnum once said you can't cheat an honest man, and in the same vein, you can't expose an honest politician. City Corporation Counsel Herbert W. Gleason '50 accused Garguilo of being politically motivated, and said she lacked an understanding of accepted business practices. With a staff of seven, the finance commission should be allowed a few errors because of sloppy work. And it has only erred on details, not substantive issues...
