Army Secretary Martin Hoffmann, who spoke at commencement, gave the code a more ringing vote of confidence, then promptly qualified it. He described the code as a "timeless" statement of principles. But, he said after the ceremonies, "if conditions warrant, we'll make changes...
...stitched together from Marxist-Leninist textbook ideology, onto an ancient and feudal land of almost bewitching beauty and vulnerability. The mountainside city of Addis Ababa itself reflects the dichotomy. Its haunting, wild setting amid mist-covered mountains, ancient stone paths and a profusion of roses and bougainvillaea is as timeless and unchanged as its poverty-stricken population, dressed in layers of worn, soiled clothing, sleeping in rag bundles on the sidewalks, and driving small flocks of donkeys and cows through the main streets.

The free-flowing profanities in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? no longer shock as in the sixties but engage attention and accent the sardonic humor strung across two of the play's three grueling acts...
