Several options are open. There's always the interventionist approach: covert operations, Chile-style, via the CIA. American citizens may dismiss this possibility, treating Chile as an aberration which could not be repeated in western Europe. But the Italians themselves fear this possibility more than any other and in self-defense have published all the names of top-level CIA agents in Italy...
...Ronald Reagan gets consistent applause when he charges that Kissinger's policy of detente is a "one-way street." While being attacked from the right, he is also getting hell from the left, either because liberals have abandoned their traditional support of detente or because they oppose his interventionist views in Angola and elsewhere. He is thus in the unusual position of being accused of being too dovish and too hawkish...
Smith probably puts too much emphasis on direct ruling class control of universities through boards of trustees--understandably, since his own experience in California involves perhaps the most overtly interventionist group of overseers in the country. Despite Smith's disclaimer, "bourgeois" theorists are correct in saying that faculties and administrations now exercise more day-to-day control over universities than they ever have. But both sides of the argument miss the point: trustees, intimately tied to big business interests, don't have to draw up university budgets, take an active role in hiring and firing faculty, and bend curriculum...
...President chided Congress for opposing his foreign policy as well as his economic program. He drew on another historical figure, Michigan Senator Arthur Vandenberg, to emphasize the need for a bipartisan foreign policy. A onetime Republican isolationist, Vandenberg persuaded members of his own party to support Truman's interventionist policy. "I do not expect 535 reincarnations of Senator Vandenberg," said Ford. "But I challenge the Senate and the House to give me the same consideration that Vandenberg sought and got for President Truman." More articulate than in the early days of his presidency, Ford drew no guffaws when...
THAT STIMULUS must come from those sectors which support interventionist policies--namely, as the Modigliani study confirms, the upper socio-economic strata. Members of these classes, who generally have an economic, ideological, or psychological stake in American expansion, know fully well that this expansion cannot be sustained without mass support or at least mass acquiescence. It serves their manifold interests to paint for the benefit of the public a picture of Communism which is as menacing as possible, in order to defend and justify all kinds of American overseas forays...
