...first round during six days of lengthy discussions at the U.N.'s Palais des Nations. They agreed to a basic declaration that largely favored Turkey by allowing it to keep its troops in Cyprus and also reiterated a cease-fire plan worked out at the U.N. The mood of the participants, who in the second round will include Greek and Turkish Cypriots, indicated, however, that peace keeping would be difficult all round...

It seems futile to talk about the present mood, because since we were kids we've seen it every night on television news and in the press: crime, riots, bombings, assassinations, hijackings, government intrigue. More than just the immediate assault of the media, Heilbroner also claims that America has undergone attitudinal changes--a loss of a sense of assurance and control and an awareness of the deterioration...
