...this year have endorsed a nuclear freeze. It continued when the New Yorker published in three successive issues Jonathan Schell's apocalyptic The Fate of the Earth. It escalated when The New Republic responded to Schell by featuring a piece "in defense of deterrence." It spread further with a Newsweek cover story. And it evolved all out of control with an ABC Nightline special edition live from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government two nights ago that showed off satellite technology and an array of impressive guests...
...group. It is sort of the intellectual's conservative and the man claiming to be its leading spokesman is the only columnist in America who holds a Ph.D., George F. Will. Will's columns show up regularly in the Washington Post, and bi-weekly on the back page of Newsweek. His articulate style and his controversial stands have earned him a wide readership and several awards. But 20-inch columns convey only a brief message to the reader.

The domestic situation being presumably less puzzling to a chauvinistic nation, opportunities for the analogy's application abound mainly abroad Newsweek compared President Reagan's foreign policy problems to the cube. The world, its cover slickly suggested, may not conform to his red hats-white hats view. Thanks to the analogy, Reagan's inability to handle more than one face of foreign affairs at a time fell into place...
