...19th century this attitude was tempered by a nagging sense of social and cultural inferiority to Europe, which caused Americans to proclaim their indifference to foreign judgments while in fact they were listening for them all the time. Although this uncertainty gradually faded (not that it has totally disappeared yet), the U.S. after World War II still felt uneasy as a world power and was sensitive to the charge that it had "less experience" than older nations. The cold war often seemed like a contest for the allegiance of the uncommitted...
...policies are often inconsistent. In the spirit of a "decent respect to the opinions of mankind," the U.S. perhaps needs to announce its purposes more clearly and then act on them fearlessly. In influencing the minds of men, it is more important to state than to reply, to proclaim the truth than to refute accusations.

Perched on the edge of the Iron Curtain, opulent little Austria sits between two worlds-and makes the most of both of them. Its prosperous people proclaim their neutrality almost as ardently as they complain about their overcrowded parking lots and eagerly sell their steel, sausages and stretch pants to countries as diverse as the U.S. and Red China. Glittering Vienna, which has more high-priced jewelry stores and high-calorie pastry shops than any other continental city, is a compelling advertisement for capitalism to the thousands of Eastern Europeans who visit it every year. Last week the Austrian National...
