...watching substantial duties and numbers of its analysts get shifted to offices under the DNI, the Pentagon has in some cases been better able to stave off such transfers. This suggests at least a partial victory for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who originally was reluctant to back the creation of Negroponte's office. Officials tell TIME that the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency has handed over far fewer analysts in response to Negroponte's call. The DIA director, Lt. Gen. Michael Maples, has insisted that because "we're at war," he can spare very few billets, one senior U.S. official...

...financial allocation, a four-fold increase over the UC’s typical events budget. According to an article in The Crimson, the new board will be responsible for planning five different social events: two outdoors events like Yardfest, a concert, and Harvard-Yale. The board’s creation effectively outsources the social-planning role traditionally held by the CLC. According to Matthew R.

Democracy at WorkRiley’s inclusive approach to leadership has distinguished...
