...type of delivery system, no matter how crude, could vastly change the strategic balance in Asia. In fact, it has subtly changed already, confirming many Asians in their growing belief in an eventual Communist takeover of all Asia, shaking hitherto staunch anti-Communists in their resolve-and giving other nations nuclear ideas. Thanks mostly to technology supplied by the U.S., a dozen or more countries-among them Egypt, Israel, India, Japan, West Germany and Mexico-possess reactors capable of producing uranium or plutonium. The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission estimates that nowadays, for an investment of $50 million, a country...

A third arrives sporting a youthful social idealism. Finding this stance unfashionable, he soon outdoes his classmates in pretending to the cynicism of a world-wise septagenarian. Sometimes one's entire undergraduate career may become an act. "The Snow-Man," of one sort or another, is a traditional Harvard phenomenon The ethos of this complex is ambition; its characteristic emotion is frustration...
