...West Germany in 48 hours. You cannot checkmate that by strategic nuclear forces, for you no longer have superiority. Now we want to collect.' " And what will they collect? Luttwak speculated that while they would not actually occupy Western Europe, they would demand that it "show 'proper respect' for their wishes, perhaps using Soviet-Finnish relations as a model. This would be the 'Finlandization' of Europe. Of course, Western Europe is more powerful than Finland and would have more leverage...
...strategy was part of a broader critique of overall U.S. strategic concepts. Collins, for example, complained that "the No. 1 U.S. national security problem is the lack of creative strategic thinking. Without new strategic conceptualizing, we are not even sure that our defense policymakers are identifying the proper issues." Luttwak went further, speculating that Americans may lack the innate characteristics needed for strategic thinking.

Still, when the shouting finally died down, the VA investigators and their critics were closer to agreement than they admitted. Both emphasized the proper selection of patients.

Most also agreed that for victims of the severest disease, characterized by a blockage in the left main coronary artery (a condition that Effler aptly calls "the widow-maker"), surgery is all but mandatory.

To Daley, politics was unremitting combat. Once attained, power could not be shared because sharing would tempt others to become chieftains...
...West Bank, all of which was once called Palestine, after the Philistines who lived there (along with the Jews) in biblical times. The largest number of modern Palestinians still remain in that territory: 693,000 in the West Bank, 447,000 in Gaza and 574,000 more in Israel proper, where they have become citizens of the Jewish state and a long-range worry to Israeli authorities because their birth rate is much higher than that of the 3.6 million Jews. Many more live in neighboring states such as Jordan and Lebanon, the poorest among them in refugee camps that...
