This year CCAS held its own national conference at the time of the AAS meeting (March 28 to March 30), in a nearby Boston hotel. Its purpose was two-fold: to re-evaluate America's role in Asia and the scholarship which has justified it, and to consolidate CCAS as an organization to further these goals...

Nor do I wish to diminish the role the military services have played historically in assuring our security and freedom. That is not the purpose of the resolution voted by the Faculty last Thursday. For my part, and here I can speak only, as one member of this Faculty. I would like to see a transition begin not only...
