... Professor Alfred McCoy have something special in common. Based on their actions and accomplishments of nearly thirty years ago, they have achieved the status of icons within the subculture of what passes for the New Left.

... reveal that the President had authorized jets from the U.S. aircraft carrier Essex to provide one hour of air cover for the brigade's B-26 bombers on the morning of April 19.

... in the Navy. As Secret Agenda relates, that tour of duty saw Woodward joining an elite unit of the US Navy briefing officers, while at the same time presiding over the ultrasecret code-room of the Chief of Naval Operations (then Admiral Thomas Moorer) at the Pentagon. The extraordinary sensitivity of this post, according to others who have held it, made Woodward a member of "an old boys' network" whose influence in Washington is said to be profound. (others in the group include Senator Richard Lugar and Admiral ...

... fees for the system's signal. Mr Pace warns that unless Uncle Sam continues to support the GPS, Japanese and European techies may opt for the rival Russian Glonass system. Unfortunately, the Glonass is already the system of choice for true global positioning buffs, since the Pentagon degrades the information it provides non-military users. The non-degraded Russian system allows for accuracy of better than 10 meters to all commercial users. And it probably comes with a kool Red Star logo like the pocket watches advertised in Private Eye. The Rand Corporation's support for ...

... in and teaches the use of repressive violence, in Indonesia and other parts of the Third World. The conflicting goals of these two American traditions have led to recurring showdowns in Congress. In March 1998 Congress learned that, despite its express prohibition in 1992, the Pentagon had continued to supply training to the Indonesian army unit, Kopassus, that has been most involved in massacres and torture over the last 35 years.
