Aron's position in Paris-a pro-Western, tradition-minded professor at the Sorbonne and former columnist for the conservative Le Figaro-is significant. This changed view of the U.S. is not the crude anti-Americanism of the postwar years, when walls were defaced with scrawled outcries of YANKEE GO HOME! and leftist crowds repeatedly rioted against the all-powerful U.S. It is instead the increasingly widespread belief, even among many of America's traditional friends, that U.S. strength has declined so much that Washington can no longer be relied upon as the leader of the Western alliance...
...receive any formal academic training in his craft. He graduated from Moscow's college-level Institute of International Relations, and began his career at Trud, the daily newspaper of the Central Council of Trade Unions.

Montgomery, "you can climb Everest on a pogo stick without attracting envy or admiration." But, in fact, once the notion of climbing a mountain by pogo stick has been conceived, it would not be surprising if somebody...
...Columnist Jack Anderson, who specializes in unearthing governmental misdeeds, grades the Carter Administration "a little below normal-less corrupt than Nixon, of course, but more corrupt than Ford, L.B. J. or J.F.K. Perhaps Carter doesn't know any better, maybe it's the way they play politics in Georgia." From the outset Joe Kraft has been unimpressed with Carter, regarding him as an "unstructured mind" incapable of consistent policymaking. In Kraft's view, Carter lacks a political base, which he makes up for by assembling 7% of this group, 14% of another-a "remainder candidate," driven...
