Other U.S. allies echo Kosciusko-Morizet's view that the organization, no matter how troubled it may be, still serves a purpose. Says a Bonn-based diplomat: "We do not underestimate the U.N.'s value as a peace-keeping force. We would not have had 30 years of peace in [Western Europe] without the U.N." British officials, who strongly agree with the Reagan Administration that U.N. agencies have become far too infected with Third World politics, particularly over the Arab-Israeli issue, feel that the U.N. remains a valuable diplomatic umbrella...

King is not the first to turn his fiction over to the echo chamber of pop culture. Writers as dissimilar as Thomas Pynchon and Donald Barthelme have toyed for years with the mass-produced icons that have invaded the communal memory. But King takes them dead seriously, and so, evidently, do his millions of readers.
