Among the roughly 450 nonprofit organizations that Goldman employees donated to through the voluntary program in 2008 are some of the nation's most élite private schools.

...Some analysts believe sections of the armed forces could provide a more effective alternative to civilian law-enforcement agencies in combating terrorism. The army, air force and navy all have élite units, known collectively as the Special Services Group, that are currently being underutilized. But others dismiss that suggestion as an intrusion into civilian affairs that will only delay the development of more effective law-enforcement institutions...
