One example: 75% of the $3.5 billion in block grants for community development, approved by Congress last fall, must be spent specifically for the benefit of poor neighborhoods.

Some of the agents have hopes of selling their services to industrial-security companies that offer protection for multinational executives and their plants. The CIA is trying to help its cashiered officers, instructing them in how to write a résumé without explaining in detail that a previous job, for example, was to lead airborne missions that used infrared devices to spot the cooking pots of Che Guevara's guerrillas...
