Rogers has been conducting a virtual one-man crusade to encourage alliance members to strengthen their conventional forces.

Last week U.S. Under Secretary of Defense Richard DeLauer gave the Reagan Administration's stamp of approval to the European Security Study's report. Said he: "We support...
This isolation is doubtless intensified by the lunatic extremes of the Kim cult and the Juche Idea, a somewhat opaque notion that stresses that the masses are the agents of revolution and man is master of everything.

He is smitten and resolves to go to China as a sort of avian Henry Kissinger, to tell the phoenix that...
Although the Foundation itself has never been associated with the decision to create or not create a "Third World center," that notion persists in the minds of a few students. Not was the Foundation's director party to any decision regarding a "Third World Center." The Foundation's present director took the job because he strongly believes that all of the races at Harvard can and must work together harmoniously while respecting the value and uniqueness of each group's cultural differences...
