...result is that Schell is neither here nor there; he cannot please the million marchers in Central Park who demand simply and unequivocally. "No more nukes:" and those who want a solution they can push through Congress and then through the Kremlin.

Rothenberg, unfortunately, does not push his skepticism far enough. In appealing to pragmatism and rising above the special interests, the neoliberals act as if they were the first to dream up some of their schemes to, for example, reform the military or revive growth; their approach often borders on extreme arrogance. The military reformers talk with some merit, about the necessity for liberals to take defense matters more seriously and they exhort the Army to improve cohesion and morale, never bad advice.

Should existing programs to identify talent in "emerging sports" be beefed up? Yes, but not against the national grain; there seems to be no good reason, for instance, to push men's field hockey, a good sport unloved here. Should the Celtics be allowed to play basketball in an open Olympics? That is easy: no. Major leaguers in basketball, hockey and soccer should be excluded. It is widely assumed that the 1988 Games will be much less restrictive...
