...first place, our center was not "founded with the help of the U.S. government," but has always been supported by non-government funds, foundations, and private donors. I think your article may also convey the impression that the Center was in a condition of intellectual decline in the late 1960s and through the 1970s. While it is true that our funds declined in that period, there was then, as there has always been since 1948, vigorous scholarly and educational activity carried on by the Center.

Government officials and business leaders are routinely advised to recover from jet lag before starting negotiations...
...elected to power last year, many wondered whether Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto would dare confront the nation's military establishment. Last week she did so, ordering the transfer of Hamid Gul, 52, the powerful head of the ISI, Pakistan's military-intelligenc e agency. A protege of the late President Zia ul-Haq, Gul has wielded enormous power ever since his appointment in 1987. Besides keeping tabs on Zia's political foes, including the Bhutto family, the ISI also distributed foreign money and arms to the mujahedin rebels fighting the Soviet-backed Najibullah regime in Afghanistan...
