After assessment by the city's property, planning and real estate department, a secret report went forward to city council's downtown development committee, whose deliberations are also ordained to be secret. That committee made its decision, which, by council rules, is final. It is also confidential. At this writing, the proponents have never been officially told what the committee's decision is, although they can read the newspapers as well as anyone else. Main Street is not an ordinary piece of commercial property, and, respectfully, the city administration should have recognized the difference and not subjected it to this stifling procedure. Its history, the city's 20-year-old commitment to heritage groups with respect to the site, and the administration's own sense of history s...

Readers wanting an insider's look at what went on in the Oval Office, when the director of the CIA and the president sat down to chat, will enjoy [Tim Weiner]'s tour de force. Instead, the agency's ranks are populated by pedestrian, bullied bureaucrats ("slaves to the whims of our political masters," as MI-6's fictional George Smiley bemoaned in John Le Carré's exceptional novels of Cold War espionage) tied to a crew of somewhat ham-fisted bunglers, whose clandestine successes are, at best, overrated. For all the hatred lavished on the CIA by liberal commentators in the past and the conservative critics today, the CIA has never been more than a second-tier player in America's intelligence community.

[Bethany] happens upon [Roger]'s journal and is appalled to read his imaginary take on her real life. Creeped out and yet, strangely flattered, Bethany writes back to Roger, thus beginning a clandestine correspondence between them. As Roger and Bethany slowly reveal their vulnerabilities amid an ongoing commentary of happenings in Aisle 3, Roger becomes more human to Bethany, and she in return, becomes his muse for a novel titled Glove Pond, which he recently revived from a time when he was "young and fresh and dumb. These external views help to fill in the back stories of [Douglas Coupland]'s protagonists, but they detract from the natural flow of Roger and Bethany's insightful and often funny introspections as their unlikely friendship grows.

Dense but well-written and engaging, [Adrian Levy] and [Catherine Scott-Clark]'s book weaves together the complex narrative of Middle East strategic relations, clandestine U.S. foreign policy, nuclear weapons proliferation, radical fundamentalism in Afghanistan and elsewhere, and ultimately the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Pakistani nuclear ambitions since May 1998 are well known: After tests in the Chagai Hills, Islamabad admitted it had nuclear weapons. It's less known, however, that those ambitions began 25 years earlier with an "ambitious young man who could not get a job. The reasons why this occurred lie in Pakistani politics, regional instability and a changing global system. Levy and Scott-Clark are not sympathetic to the support given by successive U.S. administrations (all of them...
In the 2004 decision of the Supreme Court of British Columbia in Stanco Projects Ltd. v. British Columbia (Ministry of land, Water and Air Protection) and Aplin & Martin Consultants Ltd., the plaintiff, Stanco, bid on a construction project to build water reservoirs for the ministry, which retained Aplin & Martin Consultants Ltd, an engineering consultancy, to lead the tendering process. The process was flawed from the beginning. In trying to make things right, the engineering firm sought clandestine bids from bidders, which it used to pressure Stanco into reducing its price. The court found the ministry in breach of its duty to treat all bidders fairly, and Stanco was awarded damages amounting to the profit the company would have earned had it been awarded the contract.
The Jasons: The Secret History of Science's Postwar Elite is an attempt to unravel the mystery of one of the world's most clandestine institutions. Although many names of its members are familiar, others can only be identified by [Ann Finkbeiner] through enigmatic pseudonyms such as "Dr. X" (a biochemist) and "Prof. Y" (one of the few female Jasons). The Jasons may have been named by the wife of an early group member in a casual remark about their romantic quest for "golden fleece" of knowledge that would better mankind. Or, perhaps because the group originally met for "Summer Institutes" during the months of July, August, September, October and November. More than digging out details of projects, Finkbeiner's conversations with Jasons revealed how they were concerned about the militari...
