Thus Bundy argues that the U.S. should not be precluded from covert actions, but should not use such actions as extensively as in the 1950s. Bowdoin College Provost Olin Robinson, an authority on intelligence organizations in democratic societies, agrees: "Unless you've got a cast of world characters who are willing to play by a certain set of rules, you're going to have covert operations."
