...revelations and good investigative journalism having dealt a virtual death blow to his credibility and that of the entire CIA. Replacing him now, in the context of other changes, merely served to reinforce the decisiveness image.

...current policy of isolating the freshmen in the Yard, or worse yet in the Union dorms, is socially and psychologically detrimental.

And it's good news that the future king--Spain's first monarch since 1931--has indicated that he's interested in bringing Spain into the European political and economical mainstream, if only because most European countries will not accept Spain until it changes its political system. But Juan Carlos has no real power base for this move and Spain's political climate under his leadership will not necessarily mean that major reforms will be made...
