Indeed, Thomas last week attacked the logic of the Brown decision in his concurring opinion on Missouri v. Jenkins. In that decision the court overturned a federal judge's order that the state continue to fund lavish "magnet" schools in Kansas City because test scores at predominantly black schools still lag behind national averages. According to Thomas, the judge had misinterpreted previous court rulings -- including Brown -- "to support the theory that black students suffer an unspecified psychological harm from segregation that retards their mental and educational development.

I proceed from the fact that the end of the age of bloc confrontation has made redundant the old logic of a military-political rivalry, where opposing nations did their best to fill a geopolitical "vacuum" and divided whole continents into zones of influence. This is particularly true of Europe. We do not think the real problems of European security can be resolved by expanding nato to the East. Such...
