...that Washington would not "mirror Soviet and Cuban activities in Africa." Such a course, warned Vance, "would only escalate military conflict with great human suffering." The Secretary listed a series of "positive" U.S. responses to the Soviet and Cuban presence. Among them: commitment to social justice and economic development, respect for African nationalism, and the fostering of human rights. That evening, as 80 Representatives and Senators gathered for an off-the-record briefing by President Carter, Vance's star seemed to ascend even higher. Though both Brown and Brzezinski were also on hand, many observers reported that Carter seemed...

The lessons learned on the playing field are among the most basic: the setting of goals and joining with others to achieve them; an understanding of and respect for rules; the persistence to hone ability into skill, prowess into perfection. In games, children learn that success is possible and that failure can be overcome. Championships may be won; when lost, wait till next year. In practicing such skills as fielding a grounder and hitting a tennis ball, young...
