...even among large and wealthy nations, let alone small and under-developed countries. On the Other hand, the dream of global union among all nations is as remote and Utopian as ever. But between the two concepts-the individual nation and the "federation of the world"-an important middle ground is emerging. It is the regional grouping...
...longer a golf ball stays airborne, the more it is affected by wind. The tournament draw put him at the ocean-side Cypress Point course next day- and there the wind was howling in off the Pacific at 40 m.p.h., bending flag sticks over until the tips touched the ground.

Both sides are presented as helpless amputees of history; the old rebel has a past but no future, the terrorists a future but no past. Communication is impossible; experience and extremism meet and pull apart without once having touched...
