...have, I must confess, serious doubts about the efficacy--or even the integrity--of the "classic" exam period editorial, "Beating the System" you reprinted recently. I almost suspect this so-called "Donald Carswell '50" of being rather one of Us--the Bad Guys--than one of you.

Says one alumnus of the White House staff: "Regan sits through two-hour meetings, then gives the President...
...Britain sex is lethal, while it seems that spying, though regrettable, can be lived with. A series of sensational double agents at high levels of British intelligence, including Kim Philby, Guy Burgess, Donald Maclean and Anthony Blunt, never seriously rocked the British ship of state. But sex scandals have regularly felled British political figures, from War Secretary John Profumo in 1963 to Conservative Party Deputy Chairman Jeffrey Archer last year...
