What University of California Political Scientist Ernst Haas calls "ever-expanding islands of cooperation" have grown markedly in the past two decades. The military associations-NATO, CENTO and SEATO-stemmed from the threat of Communist aggression. Partly because of their success, they are now somewhat in disarray, looking for new, mainly diplomatic functions.

Disaster & Disarray. The G.O.P.'s new direction and drive prompted a dire warning last week from one of the most articulate Democrats around. Address ing New York's Democratic Forum, former J.F.K.

Swedish-descended son of a Lutheran preacher, LeVander is a stem-winding speaker who has delivered more than 200 high school commencement addresses with such galvanizing titles as "Rise Up and Build" and "You Have Singled; Now Score...
