Excerpts from the Spring 1984 issue
"Africa: Do the Doable"
"Americans find it hardest to maintain a sense of realism about their
foreign policies during presidential campaigns. Every four years, presidents
claim more than they have accomplished; opponents portray alternative policies
in terms that can only later lead to disillusion."
-Anthony Lake

"Europe's American Pacifier"
"Old-style conservatives used to be the staunchest defenders of Fortress
America; their neo-conservative and New Right heirs now look rather favorably
on the use of force abroad. Many liberals, once the banner carriers of Wilsonian
activism, have lately come to view the use of force with the same distaste
the Founding Fathers had reserved for 'entangling alliances':
as a sure pathway to moral and practical ruin."
-Josef Joffe
"The Dying Arab Nation"
"The United States should treat the various Arab regions as discrete
entities and convince them that it is working for a relationship rooted in
pragmatism. The United States should view the notion of distinctly Arab countries
as a cultural rather than a political concept…. Recent history suggests
that the United States should avoid overwhelming any of these states with
its presence."
-William R. Brown
