...Policy: The final area of our concentration upon the schools is policy traditionally one of the strongest fields at HGSE. Within the larger realm of social policy, increasing numbers of our colleagues have turned that attention to issues related to schools. During this year Professor Sara Lawrence Lightfoot has completed her study of "portraiture," six ethnographic studies of high schools. Professor David K. Cohen is completing a study of fifteen high schools as part of former dean Theodore Sizer's study of secondary education. Professor Anthony Bryk has worked with a group of students investigating the influence and consequences...
McFarlane, a conservative but no ideologue, is diligent and has a great facility for detail, particularly in the arcane realm of nuclear arms control. Earlier this year he helped persuade Reagan to temper his arms-control stance to win congressional support for the MX missile. For the past twelve weeks he has performed ably as a special envoy to the Middle East, opening channels to Syria in the Lebanese negotiations. McFarlane is no theoretician in the Kissinger-Brzezinski mold, but he is intimate with the substance of national security. As a no-nonsense National Security Adviser, McFarlane would have...
Such a scenario presupposes cooperation among the Western allies, a phenomenon that has been markedly absent from the realm of international relations of late. And it necessitates the acquiescence of the Black ruled states in Africa like Zimbabwe, states that depend on trade with South Africa to such an extent that they may not be able to forego economic relations with Pretoria.

It's possible that the one we latch onto might provide the foundation for real, positive change...
...period began? How free can one be??was not an exultation but a problem. The trouble all along may have rested with the word freedom, which represents an emotional idea, not a rational one, and thus offers a perilous guide for diverse human beings. In the realm of politics, had the world been inspired by the idea of justice rather than freedom, it might look a good deal healthier. At the onset of the French Revolution, Edmund Burke cautioned an enthusiast who sought Burke's approval of the events: "When I see the spirit of liberty in action," wrote...
West Germans opposed to the projected U.S. missile deployment consider the Reagan Administration to be unnecessarily aggressive in the realm of East-West relations. In the eyes of some resident U.S. citizens, that criticism has undertones of a more generalized anti-Americanism. On the whole, protest has so far been peaceful: demonstrations in front of the American consulate in Frankfurt, or the display in a Lübeck storefront of quotes designed to portray the U.S. as a warmonger. (Example: "We don't want war, but. . ." attributed to former NATO Commander and Secretary of State Alexander Haig.) Occasionally...
