...Take His Management Course: Douglas Waller reports that An thony Lake has the votes he needs to win Senate Intelligence Committee confirmation as CIA Chief sometime next week, but he's certainly off to a bad start as the man who proposes to manage the flow of the most sensitive information. Bad enough that La ke somehow never learned from his NSC subordinates of keen FBI concerns that China was trying to influence congressional elections. Questions about his competence deepened today on reports that even after his own NSC tried to warn the White House that Joh nny Chung...

Such a recitation--it could be chanted, to drum beats, in an evening--might dissipate...
...Soviet army's most feared adversary in Afghanistan, Ahmad Shah Massoud, one of the leaders of the forces combatting the Taliban. Russian officials acknowledge that Kulyab has become a "reserve airfield" for the anti-Taliban forces, but will not admit to providing military aid. Russia could stop the flow of arms if it wanted: a regiment of the Russian army's 201st Motorized Rifle Division is based only a few minutes' drive from the airport...
