...most trenchant criticism, however, comes from old academic colleagues who question his intensive use of personal diplomacy. The University of Chicago's Hans Morgenthau worries that Kissinger will be constricted in whatever else he does by an obsession with preserving detente. Harvard Professor of Government Nadav Safran, who otherwise gives Kissinger's performance high marks, suggests that "perhaps a less interesting Secretary of State might delegate authority so that various people would be running various problem areas simultaneously...
Liberal Distaste. Perhaps the final irony is that many U.S. liberals and intellectuals, who used to preach détente and denounce cold warriors, now sharply question and even attack the current Nixon-Kissinger bargaining with the Soviets. For example, Political Scientist Hans J. Morgenthau recently decided that the Soviet Union is too far outside any "moral consensus" shared with the rest of the international community to be trusted to fulfill its commitments. In recent weeks the tough Jackson amendment that would deny the Soviet Union many U.S. trade advantages unless it changes its emigration policy won the endorsement...
What lessons has the U.S. learned from the longest and most costly war in its history? "That good intentions and physical power are not enough," says Political Scientist Hans Morgenthau, an early critic of the war. "What is required is a wisdom and recognition of limits that our national experience hadn't taught us." As the cold war disappears, suggests former Diplomat George Kennan, one of the principal architects of America's policy of containment, the U.S. will be free to concentrate on such larger issues as the control of strategic weaponry, the salvation of man's environment...
...since John Maynard Keynes, Dean Acheson, Henry Morgenthau and politico-economic experts from 45 other countries huddled in the little New Hampshire resort town of Bretton Woods in 1944 has there been a monetary meeting like the one convening in Washington this week. John Connally, the tough but still charming Texan, will be there as the chief attraction, if one can put it that way. So will assorted treasury chiefs, finance ministers and central bankers-France's Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, Germany's Karl Schiller, Italy's Guido Carli. Like their predecessors at Bretton...
...sole limitation on airpower, Nixon said, will be to disregard "a rather ridiculous suggestion that is made from time to time-I think the latest by Hans Morgenthau-that our airpower might include the use of tactical nuclear weapons." The President was referring to an article written for the New Republic by Morgenthau, the University of Chicago political scientist and inveterate war critic. Morgenthau argued that while the Administration's plan to "Vietnamize" the war will "change the color of the casualties," its goal is still a military victory. And the only way to win a war of national...
