...this classic clash, and lessons to be learned on all sides. First, the ranchers, who overreacted to a rather modest increase in quotas, should recognize that freer trade will ultimately benefit them. America's potential for export to a beef-loving world is enormous, and ranchers cannot exploit it while clamoring for rigid quotas...
Whatever the truth about the degree of Cuban involvement, it seemed clear that both Washington and Havana were seeking to exploit the issue for their own purposes. The Carter Administration was trying to demonstrate that the Cubans had broken one of black Africa's most sacred political principles: respect for the sanctity of existing national boundaries. In a larger sense, Washington was emphasizing to both Moscow and Havana that the buildup of Soviet-Cuban influence throughout Africa must be ended if East-West détente is to be strengthened. Castro's motives in denying any involvement with...
Women may well retort that the men should clean up their act, but it would be a tragedy if women cannot avoid mistakes and exploit the opportunity that lies before them.

Hyams' cynical fantasies about the space program are an especially amusing treat. He suggests, with malicious wit, that NASA'S space walks could actually have taken place on Earth: indeed, he demonstrates that for the price of a video camera and a few buckets of sand, any American can take a giant step for mankind in the privacy of his own home...
