...foreign policy establishment types like Sol Linowitz lost their magic--if they ever had it to begin with. The treaty was highly complex--almost impossible to read--and highly vulnerable to attacks from the Right. A better drafting would have prevented much of the controversy without changing the content...
...that Bok "not only lacked substance, but showed contempt for substance. For to Bok, the form is all." In retrospect, the words of G. Garrett Epps '73 seem extraordinarily prophetic.

If he can only see foreign class conflict and byzantine political plots in the current crisis in Italy, then perhaps Emmerich would be better off letting Napolitano speak for himself and should simply content himself with announcing events. Paul Levenson '79 and Eric Gilioli...
