...policy record is that there is one. While voters credit him -- with growing reservations -- for the Gulf War and maybe the Middle East peace talks, his statesmanship is afflicted with the same sense of drift and passivity as his domestic agenda. Clinton's & problem is that he is a tabula rasa on which a foreign agenda has yet to be written: Much is promised, but what will he deliver? Choosing between them looks like an act of faith.

Moscow's city government is offering American capitalists an advertising tabula rasa: Red Square on May Day, the occasion formerly dedicated to the workers of the world. Fortune 500 corporations have received a price list which sets $1 million as the space rate for plastering the whole square with product slogans and billboards, or $500,000 for just the red brick Kremlin wall.

Law- review articles asserting opinions on controversial subjects? There are none. Sweeping court decisions? Souter, as a trial and appellate judge, narrowly ruled on the facts at hand. In Souter, Bush may have found the last person in America who does not think in opinionated sound bites. Souter, with his Yankee reticence, does not presume anyone would be interested in what he thinks if legal scholars have already thought about it. In that...
