Kerry, the Sandinistas, and the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) "Covert Cadre: Inside the Institute for Policy Studies" | 1987 | S. Steven Powell

By the way, it was information from this source that sunk President Clinton's nominee for CIA Director, Anthony Lake. That's why we have George Tenent.

Too bad his connection to IPS isn't enough to sink Kerry. I'm going to look through my resources showing Anthony Lake's involvement with IPS to see if Senator Kerry is mentioned as well.

I forgot about the IPS-Lake thing, but now that you mention it I remember that. And if I recall correctly, Lake's IPS involvement goes way back to the same period when Kerry was protesting against Nixon. There's some pretty detailed info on Lake's activity during that period in Walter Isaacson's biography "Kissinger". I doubt Lake was directly associated with Kerry at that time, but I would guess their paths must've crossed pretty close at certain points, perhaps a degree or two removed. Worth looking into.
