...anywhere but Western Europe are a threat to the American way of life. Buchanan's remarks about Jews in particular are so provocative that his fellow panelists on TV political talk shows -- including Al Hunt of the Wall Street Journal, Morton Kondracke of the New Republic and Washington Post columnist Mark Shields -- have felt the need to say publicly that their colleague is not an anti-Semite...

It is only too possible that some commanders could peddle tactical nuclear arms to foreign governments or even terrorist gangs. Even now, says Vladlen Sirotikin, a Soviet historian and political columnist, "give me a million bucks, and I'll have a nuclear-tipped missile stolen for you and delivered anyplace you want...
