When he spoke about the document at the Kennedy School of Government, his excitement undiminished by his tremulous English, it appeared that a stronger Union was in the making and that dreams of a great Europe were about to be realized. A Europe with a Union president and a minister of foreign affairs, a Europe capable of making the rest of the world feel its weight, maybe even a Europe that wouldn’t let the United States call all the shots. But the final draft, signed one year later by the heads of all 25 member states, seems...
...treaty originates from and underpins undemocratic processes. Unlike almost any other document of constitutional pretensions in democratic history (including the one currently being created in Baghdad), it was composed not by a freely elected assembly but by an unelected Convention presided by Giscard-d’Estaing. Like a rerun, it lays out already well-known principles of economic integration in the EU: severely limited powers for the directly elected European Parliament and free rein for the appointed European Commission to demolish obstacles to the competitive marketplace whatever their form. A multitude of other provisions prohibit harmonizing labor laws...
...indictment against Whitworth contains twelve counts, one of which charges that he illegally copied a document known as Annex K while stationed on the Enterprise. Prosecutors said the document outlines the Navy's plan for communications in the Indian Ocean in the event of major hostilities in the Middle East.

Said a senior Western diplomat in Sofia: "There's nothing much here that's different from what the Soviets are already...
...Helsinki accords, signed by Washington and Moscow as well as 33 other nations, committed those nations to "respect human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief." Often citing this document, Jimmy Carter turned America's concern for individual freedoms into a high-visibility moral crusade. Although Reagan has not been as vocal as Carter in condemning human rights violations, he will not be silent at the negotiating table. After years of stonewalling references to Helsinki's human rights provisions, the Soviets now frequently invoke them when accusing America of abuses, creating a distorted mirror...
