Ralph Kirkpatrick is a whole musician for having wrestled seriously with diverse apsects of his field.

The European Army (EDC) has never raised cheers in Holland, for it will speed the rearmament of Germany, a nation that overran the Dutch only 13 years ago. The Dutch fear current French weakness as well as future German strength. But the Dutch, a hardheaded people, know no better alternative to what their...
