...isolated and militarily indefensible outpost, West Berlin is of no strategic value; it is indeed a liability, because fears of Soviet retaliatory pressures against the hostage city restrict American freedom of action elsewhere. The decisive argument against abandoning Berlin is simply that to surrender a U.S.-protected non-Communist population to Communist rule would be a morally intolerable betrayal, and that for Washington to let itself be coerced into committing such a betrayal would have devastating consequences on anti-Communist morale...

During the period when DAS was most effectively at work in Pakistan that country was moving ever closer into association with China. It was the only important non-Communist country in Asia so to move. This gave the State Department no comfort, as I can attest. It might cross one's mind that a relatively strong economy and the presence of a corps of independent economic advisers extensively recruited by the DAS from Canada. Britain and the Scandinavian...
