Particular decisions to arm or disarm, to talk or to remain silent, must, in his view, be keyed to current opportunities rather than past failures. What remains constant is his concern with the fundamental uses of strength. The U.S. has not quite grasped an axiom that European statesmen had long ago mastered: peace is not a universal realization of one nation's desires, but a general acceptance of a concept of an "international order." It may chafe all concerned, but irritation is acceptable if no one's survival is threatened. In his history of the post-Napoleonic period, A World...
...past several months, he began to suspect that his ideological correctness had come into question; he was being carefully watched by his subordinates. There were reports that in recent weeks Liao had cautiously begun attempts to make contacts with American intelligence, with a view to escaping. Adding to his concern was the impending arrival of a Chinese freighter in Rotterdam: the embassy had scheduled an on-board party, and Liao feared that, if he attended, he would not be allowed to go back ashore. His decision was clear, and led him to the police headquarters in the middle...
Liao's loss is expected to set off another round of witch hunting in China's foreign service.

Kuhn, who listed player relations among his National League duties, is a skilled negotiator. But it will take more than persuasion for baseball to keep pace with...
Another Hefner hang-up is an almost Johnsonian concern for his place in history. As he told TIME Writer Charles Parmiter: "I would rather be me than, say, Richard Burton. Whatever I am is unique." Or: "I'm sure that I will be remembered as one significant part of our time. We live in a period of rapid sociological change, and I am on the side of the angels." That concern was reflected in his joy at receiving a letter from the Chicago Historical Society, asking him to preserve his correspondence and memorabilia for its archives...
