Statistically, Buchanan's debut was respectable--39 yards rushing on 11 carries and 6 of 13 passing for 83 yards. But overall, the offense lacked everything but penalties. There was scant organization and little variation. Too many of Buchanan's rushing yards were by accident rather than by design...
What extraordinary vehicles destiny selects to accomplish its design. This man, so lonely in his hour of triumph, so ungenerous in some of his motivations, had navigated our nation through one of the most anguishing periods in its history.

It left blank pages for our position. It was intransigent on Taiwan. At first I was taken aback. To end a presidential visit with a catalogue of disagreements was extraordinary. But as I reflected further I began to see that the very novelty of the approach might resolve our perplexities. A statement of differences would reassure allies and friends that their interests had been defended. If we could develop some common...
