Image problem
Judge William Webster is retir-
ing with pride from the CIA, walk-
ing away with the agency's highest
award, the Distinguished Intelli-
gence Medal. Perhaps his next stop
should be Rochester Institute of
Technology, where he could explain
why he considers his CIA tenure
not only a great adventure but also
a service to his country. RIT has
just hired the nation's largest pub-
lic relations firm, Hill and Knowl-
ton, to help brighten its image in
the midst of a controversy over the
school's ties to the CIA.
RIT has experienced image
problems over its CIA links since
school President M. Richard Rose
disclosed earlier this year that he
was spending a 31/-month sabbati-
cal at the agency's headquarters in
Langley. Subsequent media reports
said the school had extensive ties to
the agency and questioned whether
the CIA had, horrors, influenced
the curriculum.
