...thing I took from my graduate education is that there are political dimensions to everything. Akhromeyev mentioned that he came to office without any political training. He suggested that my broad background must be helpful as Chairman. That was his perception, and he's right...
There are no solely military solutions. So we need warriors who can operate in the policy world as well. It's the same within the military. We need broad- based fighters. We need managers too. The Pentagon spends huge sums developing and producing new weapons systems. That has to be done well. Our challenge is to develop leaders who can fight and manage and fighters who can contribute to policymaking. We have to develop a promotion system that recognizes all those talents. A man can be a first-class warrior, but if he can't function in the policy arena...
...when Arafat formally asked for entry, Shultz consulted his top advisers. A broad array of officials counseled Shultz to grant the visa: Richard Murphy, Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs; Michael Armacost, Under Secretary for Political Affairs; National Security Adviser Colin Powell; Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci.

Ms. editor Anne Summers, who took over from founder Gloria Steinem last year, was also worried about misconceptions: "Ms. readers...
UNFORTUNATELY, this approach only hurts the play. Woody Allen doesn't write broad physical comedies, and he can't be performed like the Three Stooges or Laurel and Hardy, though this seems to be the Dunster House approach. Physical humor, which might play well in the background, is brought to center stage, detracting from the play itself. The audience is treated to such extended vignettes as Axel struggling with Scotch tape and the embassy priest struggling to free himself from a Houdiniesque magic trick. These antics are funny by themselves, but are not anywhere near enough to carry an entire...
