...replace its Maoist aberrations with a more pragmatic approach. Another critical problem in the area, and one that is often overlooked, is Japan. The Hudson Institute's Herman Kahn places the restructuring of Washington-Tokyo relations among the top five priorities of the new Administration in the foreign field; former U.S. Ambassador to Tokyo Edwin Reischauer, not surprisingly, places it even higher. Reischauer also notes that in the rest of Asia a precipitate U.S. pullout from Viet Nam, or a thinly veiled sellout, could well ensure eventual Chinese domination of the whole region. He looks instead for "a continuing...
...Question of Cooperation. In all his ventures in the foreign field, Nixon will find a vastly changed structure of relationships from the patterns that prevailed as recently as 1960.

...leaders of Bonn's Grand Coalition sensed how poorly the German gloating was being received elsewhere in Europe, they moved without hesitation to curb the enthusiasm of their countrymen. In a radio interview, Willy Brandt gave the Germans a lesson in prudent international etiquette. Said the Foreign Minister: "Arrogance toward our neighbors and partners would be stupid and dangerous." Chancellor Kiesinger warned his people about developing pretensions of grandeur. "In the journalistic utterances abroad during the past days, there were voices that spoke of an alleged shift of power within Europe to Bonn," he said. "I would like...
