...Global cooling might be explained by a link between ice ages and changes both in the earth's attitude and in its orbit around the sun. That concept was championed by Germany's Alfred Wegener (best known for his ideas about continental drift) and later refined by Yugoslav Mathematician Milutin Milankovitch, for whom the theory is now named. Last year three scientists -James Hays of Columbia, John Imbrie of Brown University and Nicholas Shackleton of Cambridge University in England-published the strongest evidence yet that Milankovitch was right. Analyzing cores of sediments taken from beneath the floor...
...major ice ages was closely related to changes in the earth's attitude and orbit that reduced the amount of summer sunlight striking the polar caps. Unless man somehow unbalances the equation, these scientists concluded, the trend over the next 20,000 years will be toward a cooler global climate and the spread of glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere...
...much did Kissinger contribute to these changes? Was he simply a brilliant tactical negotiator, or did he begin building the "structure of peace" he sought and lay the foundations for a "permanent foreign policy"? In his behalf, Kissinger can mount an impressive case. His design for a global foreign policy included a comprehensive economic, political and military approach with long-term goals.

Cooper lost no time in beginning to get that message across. On a visit to Tokyo shortly after his appointment, he called on Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda and expounded his views on the still soft global economy at a press conference. "We have been wasting resources in [lost] jobs and in underutilization of capital equipment," he said...
