...agency can afford nothing less if it is to outgrow its cold war roots. Policymakers lament the CIA's failure to warn earlier of Iraq's intention to invade Kuwait, and they demand intelligence on new topics, from industrial counterespionage to the AIDS epidemic's devastation of the political and managerial elites in several African countries. Budget cutters hungrily eye the estimated $30 billion in often redundant spending by the CIA and other elements of the intelligence community. To address these challenges, Bob Gates offers close ties with the White House and Pentagon, broad CIA experience and a black belt...

She plays a woman not unlike herself, a greeting-card artist seeking to outgrow a Goody Two-Shoes image in her work and life. The youth she is drawing -- or maybe only imagines she is drawing -- is her son's Dartmouth roommate. He is compact and dark. Or lanky and blond. Two actors, John K. Linton and Barry Tubb, have the role but do not alternate: they are often onstage at the same time, embodying different aspects of the character. For that matter, Moore is not alone...
