...blame America's recordbreaking budget deficits on our allies' failure to shoulder more of the NATO burden is misleading. Defense expenditures as a percentage of GNP, even after the Reagan defense buildup, are much lower than they were throughout the 1950s and 1960s, when the economy boomed...
Ward was in Oxford with James Meredith; he was shot in the shoulder for his protective pains. Yet he seems criminally naive about race relations in the South.
