Herman Kahn, head of the Hudson Institute "think tank" and long an influential consultant to the Pentagon, once noted that the creator of the film character Dr. Strangelove used "part Henry Kissinger, part myself, with a touch of Wernher von Braun" for a model. In fact, claims Yarmolinsky, "the resemblance is entirely superficial. He is no war lover, period." Rather, Kissinger is acknowledged by most of his colleagues as a thoroughgoing "realist" among the often dogmatic band of thinkers known as "defense intellectuals...

In 1966, when hundreds of distinguished Soviet intellectuals were publicly protesting the sentencing of Sinyavsky and Daniel to eight and five years' hard labor for having allegedly written...

"The first flower of our wilderness and the star of our night," Harvard has become, through three centuries of educational experience, the model for almost every other institution of higher learning in this nation and abroad.
