...retrospect, many intelligence experts now play down the potential value of obtaining a code machine and possibly a legible code book. They point out that code machines, Western and Russian models alike, are constructed in a manner that enables the operator to reset circuits and insert new encoding or decoding disks at random so that yesterday's code may give scant clue to today's. Even so, influential U.S. cryptologists at the time believed that an examination of the Russian equipment would increase the possibility that the U.S. might finally succeed in breaking Soviet codes, a feat that...
Love-Hate Affair. In retrospect, that was exactly the wrong program. An easing in monetary policy, a moderate tax cut and some loosening of spending last year might have prevented the recessionary tailspin from gathering momentum. Those measures might have averted the pressure for massive stimulus now and could have held down the budget deficit, which is ballooning largely because of falling tax revenues and rising spending for unemployment compensation and other income-support programs.

WHAT IS MOST striking about Giminez-Jimeno's testimony, in retrospect is that it agreed in its essentials with Edelin's own version of events: Edelin did, after all, perform an abortion with the intention of producing a dead fetus. The dramatic power of Giminez-Jimeno's testimony obscured the fact that he was accusing the defendant of something already stipulated. Some of the horror of that testimony was inherent in the nature of abortion...
...pride, and cultural dignity, increasing identification by American blacks with the struggle in Africa and the rest of the Third World, and increasing solidarity between Third World peoples in general. The victims of international capitalist plunder are coming together on a world scale, uniting against their common enemy. In retrospect, we can see that Malcolm's ideological development, his evolution from self-hate to nationalistic self-pride to internationalistic solidarity, was ahead of its time. While it is pointless to whine about "what he could have done" had he not died, it is essential to study, grasp, and put into...
