...these standards, everyone at Harvard would be expelled for cheating. What professor in his right mind would leave the unlocked solution to a problem set on the course's website if he didn't want students to use it?

It is a neat fit: Colombia and other Latin American nations can use the aircraft; U.S. helicopter builders can use the orders. The Administration's aid package calls for 30 new Sikorsky UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters, at $10 million each, and 33 Vietnam-era Bell UH-1 Hueys, outfitted with new engines and other improvements, for $1.5 million each...
