...Prudent parents, even if they were dedicated ski bums during their own college years, may decide that the cold, crisp joy of schussing to bankruptcy is best left to singles with incomes at or above the orthodontist level. Not at all, say the business-oriented swifties who are taking over the management of big ski resorts from the old 10th Mountain Division veterans who founded them.

A wise and prudent American foreign policy is a necessary precondition for the Atlantic Alliance. But the sufficient conditions needed to truly restore the whole moral and psychological as well as military balance of forces in Europe include a northern European left which has it eyes open about the Soviet Union and is convinced that there is something very fundamental at stake in the conflict between East and West. Without that basis in the moral order, no amount of strategic brilliance...
