...state of unease; the old ties need to be reconstructed. The "Year of Europe," which Kissinger himself proclaimed as one of his top priorities, has hardly begun, and yet the calendar year is nearly over. In the Middle East, which Kissinger has largely avoided, new initiatives are needed. Latin America, too, is once again in a state of turmoil that can hardly be ignored. And even in the fields that Kissinger has made his own, he himself has expressed a desire for what he calls "institutionalization"-a process by which fragile one-man accomplishments can become the cornerstone of future...

In 1933 he seized control of the army and the country in a bloodless -but genuine-"sergeants' revolution." But he soon learned the lavish ways of Latin dictators: gambling and prostitution flourished in Havana while government officials built monumental bank accounts from sugar deals with the U.S. In an ill-considered play for popularity, Batista released hundreds of political prisoners in 1955; one of them, Fidel Castro, put together the Communist revolution that ousted him. He settled...
