...losopher." Hocking himself vigorously applied his vision to the realm of pub lic debate. He championed the Arab cause against Israel and criticized the cold-war policy of John Foster Dulles as being too negative. He was unafraid to prophesy: he once predicted that "we shall see in the Orient the rise of a Christianity far outpassing that which we of the West have conceived;" long before the Sino-Soviet split, he argued that history was pushing the U.S. and Russia closer together...
...power. The Easterners have a point. The two sections of the country, separated by nearly 1,000 miles of Indian territory, share neither borders nor cultures. West Pakistan is Middle Eastern, hot and dry in climate, puritanical in morals, warlike in manners, and multilingual. East Pakistan smacks of the Orient, with its hot and moist climate, its lush, green fields, its smaller and generally quieter people, and its lilting singsong language, Bengali. East Pakistanis complain that fully 70% of the country's civil servants and 90% of the army are recruited in West Pakistan, though East Pakistan accounts...
...Francisco has long been the U.S.'s gateway to the Orient. There, clipper ships embarked, coolies came to build the transcontinental railroad, and the largest Chinese colony in the New World was established.

Its 700 pieces of Jade are but part of the treasures available not only to the public but also to Oriental scholars. When did Brundage decide to specialize in collecting Eastern art works? "In 1935," he says, "I made a special trip to London to see a .great exhibit of Chinese art there. British experts had brought a whole gunboat load back. Seeing that drove the last nail in my coffin. I've been broke ever since." Now, because of Brundage...
...satellite eyes-in-the-sky, it is certainly not Terra Incognita; its huge land mass, slightly bigger than all 50 U.S. states, lies naked before the orbiting cameras. The figurative curtain that it has drawn around itself is not of iron but, more appropriately for the Orient, of pliable bamboo. Yet of all the earth's too many closed societies, that of Red China ranks as the most ominously secretive. This secretiveness, paranoiac in its intensity, is the more worrisome to the world because militant Red China is the global troublemaker with the greatest revolutionary threat...
