...intelligence network around the globe has picked up fragments of Soviet anguish about how come the Israelis, flying American F-15s and 16s over Lebanon, shot down Syrians flying MiG-23s at a ratio of 83 to zip. And how come those SAM-6s and 8s in the Bekaa Valley, the same kind of missile that devastated the Israelis in the 1973 war, could hit only one enemy plane this time...

To enforce it from the inside requires something more, a sense of Israel's own worth, not militarily, which is already too well proved, not as an outpost in the bipolar diplomatic wars, but of its and interior value as a civilization, as a structure built and enhanced not only by those who honor history but by those who know when and how to take...

But that was as intellectual as Podhoretz was going to be. Without their skill in intellectual combat, he suggested, Reagan probably would not have won over the traditional Democratic constituencies "whose support swept him into the White House." Neoconservatives had been counting on Reagan to reverse "the decline of American power": nevertheless, after looking at other possible...
