This issue featured a major cover package on President Obama's evolving relationship with the CIA, with analysis from The Weekly Standard's leading national security and political writers including Noemie Emery, Reuel Marc Gerecht, Stephen F. Hayes, and William Kristol. The magazine also examined the SAT examination through Andrew Ferguson's reporting, exploring whether the standardized test represented a cynical hoax, a useful tool, a triumph of social science, or a source of needless panic in American education.
