...Market and the resurrected German army. Apart from Western Europe's economic renaissance, perhaps the most significant change has been in its attitude toward the Soviet Union, particularly since the Cuban missile crisis, when the Russians dramatically backed down.

A Dutch Reformed clergyman, he has served at Manhattan's Marble Collegiate Church, first as pastor and, since 1960, as minister emeritus. For the past 37 years, he has been editor of the Christian Herald, pulling...
