...mistakes if they cannot learn from the experience of others. Established institutions such as The Crimson have an apprenticeship system that preserves institutional memory. But even The Crimson's executives have sometimes had to learn essential lessons the hard way. Groups that are new, reviving or branching out in fresh directions have even more to learn from others' experiences...
...furor is a curious sort of testament to Kissinger. Twelve years out of office, he still commands immense authority, especially in the absence of fresh ideas from official Washington; the Bush Administration's long-awaited "national-security review" of policy toward the U.S.S.R. has turned out to be a prescription for business as usual. But the Kissinger plan is fundamentally flawed. It seeks from the men in the Kremlin something they are already willing to grant -- latitude for diversity and liberalization in the "fraternal" countries of Eastern Europe. And it offers in return assurances that have little to do with...
...overall trade deficit of $119.8 billion last year; the gap with Japan alone was $52.1 billion.

The major cause: a fresh flood of imports from Japan...

Last week the popularity rating of the Takeshita Cabinet hovered around 10%, a postwar low. The Prime Minister's fall from public grace comes only partly from outrage over Recruit.

...Wall Street Journal editorializes that the real purpose of toppling Tower was "to cripple a President fresh from an electoral victory. To demonstrate that the real power lies in a PAC-elected Congress immune from effective voter control." And ultimately "to dismantle the presidency" no less. Of course, 87% of the members of Congress are also fresh from election. But this doesn't count, the argument goes, because Congress has "less turnover . . . than in the Supreme Soviet," as former President Reagan has complained. Only six House incumbents lost re-election bids last year, and more than 85% of current members...
