...colleges can boast the type of guest lecturer that the NWC can command, e.g., Vice President Nixon on foreign policy, Lebanon's Charles Malik on the Middle East, Ambassador Clare Boothe Luce on U.S. policy toward Italy. Between lectures and seminars, NWC students must also prepare annual theses of 6,000 to 12,000 words on such subjects as "Racial Factors in International Relations" or "The Korean Armistice and Its Consequences."
