Good posts and follow ups compn. So far I am pleased with Craig's service. One problem outsiders face when coming in to head a department is having to face well-established informal networks of friendships, associations and, yes, conspiracies. 'Limited tour' should help negate that.

On a side observation, it's interesting to note that the base product of two of those limited tour departments, drugs and sex, are victimless crimes who prohibition creates crime, police corruption and victims.
