Happily, one of the more fertile lines of thinking about security, paralleling its demilitarization, is its denationalization, which may at least restrain xenophobic excesses. Terms like common security, mutual security, global security, international security are proliferating in think tanks and Gorbachev's speeches, if not yet in the National Security Council. These terms have at their core the wise notion that in an increasingly interdependent world, security, however defined, cannot be achieved or protected along national lines; that our security depends on others...
...that the alliance must demonstrate flexibility as the cold war winds down and security arrangements are reconsidered. Thus Bush announced last week that the U.S. would not develop and install a new generation of short-range nuclear missiles and nuclear artillery in Western Europe. He also offered to advance mutual-reduction talks with Moscow over the fate of the 700 aging Lance missiles already deployed by the U.S. and opposing missiles on the Soviet side, but only after the signing of a conventional-forces treaty that would result in dramatic troop and weapons cutbacks by the U.S. and the Soviet...
After the Vietnamese army ousted the Pol Pot regime in January 1979, Seng gathered up his family. He joined with the family of a recently widowed woman named Ol Sam, whom he would later marry, plus the orphaned daughter of a mutual friend, and set out to escape from Cambodia.

His food is brought to him daily by Mac, a burly man who can come and go as he pleases. Poole cannot; he has searched every square inch of the corridor outside and found no exit...
Besides writing and lecturing, Hartman directs an advanced institute for Judaic scholarship, where -- rare for Israel -- orthodox and secular thinkers study together in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Appended to the institute is a high school, an expression of Hartman's intention to transform Israeli religious thought from the bottom up. The students there insist (not unlike John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as the Blues Brothers) they are on a mission from God. "At most places religious education is authoritarian," one 17-year-old said recently. "Here we are encouraged to think for ourselves. When we graduate we will...
