The only other purchasers I remember that year were Newsweek (which had the Iran-contra story months before it broke but just sat on it), and Howard Rosenberg from CBS (who used the database several months later to scoop a story that eventually resulted in a conviction for Oliver North). It took the CIA 13 months longer than Ace Hayes to place an order for this database, and it took the Soviet embassy 8 months longer than the CIA. Who's this Ace guy from Portland?

Indonesia's acute crisis today recalls in its details the political uncertainty at the end of the Sukarno era more than thirty years ago. Political unrest has been aggravated by economic disruption and inflation, so that protests are mounting throughout Indonesia. Tensions have been building between the Suharto regime and the international ...

... a sop to the USA, who wanted the Foreign Office to make an example of someone in the aftermath of the Burgess and Maclean defection, and partly because Anthony Eden was convinced that Montagu had seduced his son whilst they were both at Eton. The book ends with Losey surveying the smouldering ruins of Nettlefold Studios, supposedly torched by the CIA in an attempt to demonstrate to the FBI that it could carry out acts of sabotage with the best of them, and also to warn Losey that he was still under their surveillance. (This is one of the author's several touches of artistic license - the Studios continued to operate until 1961 and were demolished shortly afterwards.) The ...

He quotes imprisoned CIA officer Aldrich Ames' opinion that it was all 'a self-serving sham carried out by careerist bureaucrats who managed to deceive policy-makers and the public about the necessity and value of their work.

... which few in the new SIS 'Global Issues Controllerate' (sic) will take seriously or believe is a rational policy - really going to substitute, intellectually, morally and emotionally, for the anti-Soviet crusade which has provided SIS with its raison d'etre in the post-war years? It seems unlikely. It certainly hasn't for the CIA. Somebody said recently that the CIA is a crusade or it is nothing. Former CIA Director William Colby wasn't being ironic when he called his memoir Honorable Men. That's how that generation saw themselves - good men fighting a dirty but necessary war. It was concepts which kept the CIA relatively honest, by its own lights, for ...
