PERSIAN GULF AIR WAR ARCHITECT ADMONISHED

Lt. Gen. Buster Glosson, the architect of the Persian Gulf air war, was reprimanded Friday for improperly interfering with the promotion of a lower-ranking general.

The action by Air Force Secretary Sheila Widnall against the three-star general is considered a career-ending step.

He had been a rising star in the Air Force and considered a sure candidate for advancement to the highest ranks of the Pentagon.

"Glosson attempted to improperly influence officers who were selected to serve on a promotion board," said a statement issued late Friday by the Air Force.
