...there appears to be no graceful way out of its Lebanon dilemma. "The best achievable outcome," former Defense Secretary Harold Brown argued last week, would come if the Administration negotiated a partitioning of the country. Israel would control southern Lebanon; Syria would remain in the Bekaa Valley and northern Lebanon; the central government would control whatever it could around Beirut. If the parties will not agree to this, Brown contended, "we should leave anyway and let them find their own solutions...
...Broadway musical not only addresses this dilemma, it seems to share it. The Tap Dance Kid may sound like the saga of young Bojangles Robinson, but it is really A Tree Grows in Brooklyn in blackface and with the priorities reversed. Its subject is the aspirations and frustrations of the black middle class. Daddy (Samuel E.

Emma wants to be an attorney; Willie just gotta dance, under...

On a wider, more superficial level, the movie brought home the terror of nuclear devastation to millions of Americans too young...
...Lines 007 massacre and the recent murder, almost certainly by North Korean agents, of several high-ranking South Korean ministers and aides in Burms. And of course the overall themes must have been defense and trade. Why these topics have become increasingly important to America, and why the Korean dilemma cannot be solved with easy theories of "containment," are questions that have to be considered with an eye to history...
