...diplomacy. For the ability to exercise military force is the ultimate threat behind all international arguments. Yet the patent and proper reluctance of big powers to resort to their biggest weapons gives smaller states an opportunity for mischief and arrogance.

Thus Castro feels free to talk tough with Russia; the Rhodesians thumb their noses at the British; little Cambodia dares the wrath of Red China.

The Gill Committee recently concluded that a senior should not be forced to remain on-campus if he is willing to pay his share of administrative expenses. Ideally, seniors...
