...Cocoon. What sort of an individual is the crown prince? Dr. Koizumi has supplied a remarkably candid summing up: "He is by no means an exceptional young man. But he will do. He is sincere, takes his responsibilities seriously, and he is a good thinker even if the process is sometimes painful. He is the product of his upbringing. Like other members of the imperial family, he has lived a cocoonlike existence, with little knowledge of people and events in the outside world. He has too many servants but he lives simply. His great handicap is that all his life...
...what officials euphemistically called a "goodwill mission," troops began moving northward in a nine-day mopping-up operation. At night, soldiers and police swooped down upon scattered villages of mud-walled huts to cart off every male adult for questioning.

The mistrust of naturalness, of sincerity, and of humility, all of which are connected in the Harvard mind with ingenuousness, follows logically. The seasoned Harvardman is guarded and suspicious without provocation; if this...
When Red Meets Red. Flanked by the ever obsequious East German party boss, Walter Ulbricht, and other flunkies with high titles, Nikita bowled on to the fair, with police making way for him through the crowds (a process referred to in the Communist press as "indescribable scenes of friendship"). In a spirited tour he tossed off a glass of champagne at the French pavilion ("One cannot refuse such a pretty girl"), accepted a British...
