Dark Horses

A complete description of what America has been doing to its intelligence agencies in recent years would probably require the services of a psychoanalyst. Seldom has there been a more intense display of national masochism.

What has been done and who has been doing it are spelled out in detail by Ernest W. Lefever and Roy Godson of Georgetown University in The CIA and the American Ethic (Ethics and Public Policy Center, 1211 Connecticut Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036; $5.95). The authors summarize and document the anti-intelligence hysteria that gripped the Congress in the middle 1970s and led to much restrictive action against the CIA, the FBI, and other agencies.
