...radical today would say that the CFIA unconsciously disregards the big questions because of a preoccupation with, for example, game theory. Most would say that game theory is at once a way of aiding American foreign policy, as well as providing a mask for that aid.

He is a diplomatic historian, cautious in his sentences, cradling a thin-stemmed pipe several seconds before answering any question. Small tie-knot, two-button grey suit and flat-top haircut: unobtrusive except that he seems to neigh when he smiles...
