...future for Hispanic groups lies not with pipe-dreams of unity for a broad ethnic group which cannot even be defined, but in small, strong organizations like CAUSA, La O, FUERZA, and RAZA. Know your own culture and history; understand your community well enough to bargain for it; speak your language (without which you can't begin to do the first two things); decide, culturally, where you're coming from and where you're headed--and then we can talk, logically and intelligently, about where our interests really intersect...
...agency uses satellite inspections on other installations, such as chemical plants or oil refineries. Specialists pored over images of Libya's Rabka refinery, comparing every pipe, every cylinder, with known refinery procedures, to show that the Libyans were also trying to produce chemical weapons at the site. In Haiti the agency watches two oil refineries to judge how well the embargo is working. The imagery office is made up entirely of senior-grade CIA officers, and one of them calls it "an all-officer army." This analyst has spent most of his career studying refineries and claims that just...

Through electronic and personal surveillance, investigators soon decoded the message: North was a mailbox where Ames and his handlers conveyed impersonal, prearranged messages; Pipe was the dead drop where detailed messages, instructions and money were exchanged...
...What the hell are you asking us for? Go ask Manfred Worner, or Yeltsin. They're the bigwigs," snapped Asha, cleaning his pipe. Pause. "As far as we're concerned, from now on, the only person worth turning to is Yeltsin. Maybe later on it'll be Zhirinovsky," concluded Asha, frantically trying to light his pipe with a lighter that had the U.N. insignia on it. No go. I guess there wasn't any flint left...
