From advertisement: "The Cyprus Conspiracy provides crucial evidence that this was no failure of American foreign policy,... but the realization of a long-held plot, revealing for the first time the explosive strategic reasons why Washington had to divide the island."
McNay, I&NS 16.3, finds that "the authors sometimes present their 'conspiracy' argument in a tone of breathless astonishment[,]... often sounding a bit overwrought." Nonetheless, this study "provides an interesting and valuable perspective.... The authors do great service to all analyzing the Cyprus issue by illuminating the island's value from an intelligence perspective."

"Psychology and the CIA: Leaders on the Couch." Foreign Policy
95 (Summer 1994): 104-122.
The article focuses first is on the work of and the methods of psychological profiling developed and practiced by Jerrold Post before and after he left the CIA in 1986. It notes that academic political psychologists have moved away from Post's "clinically based psychodynamic orientation" and toward more quantitative-based techniques. "The hottest topic in the field is 'psycholinguistics,' in which oral and written rhetoric is scrutinized in an effort to map out the mind of a leader." In general, officials at the operational level are more skeptical of psychological profiling than are the higher ranks in government. The author also raises the problem of factual errors in the leader biographies, which transcend methodological issues. This problem was reflected in the Aristide profile.

"A Stunning Admission: Iran's Secret Agency Confesses to Murder."
U.S. News & World Report, 18 Jan. 1999, 36,
Iran's Intelligence Ministry has "acknowledged that some of its agents -- 'irresponsible, misguided and unruly personnel' -- were among the killers" of critics of hard-line Islamic clergy.
In a further development, the Associated Press reported on 10 February 1999 that Ali Yunesi, 43, has been nominated by Iranian President Mohammad Khatami as the new intelligence minister. "Yunesi led the investigation into the killings of writers and dissidents that began in November [1998]. The probe resulted in the Intelligence Ministry's disclosure ... that some of its agents had been arrested in connection with the five deaths." On 17 February 1999, Khatami forwarded his nomination of Yunesi as intelligence minister to the Iranian parliament. (AP, 17 Feb. 1999.) On 24 February 1999, the Iranian Majlis "gave an overwhelming vote of confidence" to Yunesi. (AP, 24 Feb. 1999.)
