For those following NASA's current recovery, November's _Atlantic 
Monthly_ has an excellent article on the Columbia Investigation and the 
culture that made it necessary.

    Quote from Admiral Gehman:

    "It has been scorched into my mind that bureaucracies will do anything 
to defend themselves. It's not evil -- it's just a natural reaction of 
bureaucracies, and since NASA is a bureaucracy, I expect the same out of 
them. As we go through the investigation, I've been looking for signs where 
the system is trying to defend itself."
