Some Soviet thinkers have even begun to play with scenario building, the concept that Herman Kahn's Hudson Institute and others have used so effectively.

...Borch, the man who gave up the presidency but remains very much the chief executive. The group's main task is to squeeze more earnings out of G.E.'s steadily increasing sales.

In fact, claims Yarmolinsky, "the resemblance is entirely superficial. He is no war lover, period." Rather, Kissinger is acknowledged by most of his colleagues as a thoroughgoing "realist" among the often dogmatic band of thinkers known as "defense intellectuals...
Dear World--A relentlessly dull musical, with little but the beautiful Angela Lansbury to recommend it. Joe Layton has just become this show's third director to date, and Jerry Herman wrote the unhelpful score. Pre-Broadway try-out at the COLONIAL...
