Kissinger's fears about Western Europe's future gave Ford no trouble and Reagan little ammunition. But the Republican challenger had an easy target in what has now been dubbed "the Sonnenfeldt doctrine"-named for State Department Counselor Helmut Sonnenfeldt, Kissinger's top expert on East-West relations and arms control. Sonnenfeldt enunciated his ideas at the same gathering of ambassadors that Kissinger addressed (TIME, April 12). In essence, Sonnen-feldt's thesis was that the U.S. should not encourage a violent political uprising in the satellites because it could only lead to Soviet intervention...

This time, the Soviets not only would be stronger, but might also conclude that America's determination to live up to its commitments has been weakened by setbacks in Southeast Asia and southern Africa. Moscow might then risk making tough demands, on the theory...
