...across a narrow, frothy stretch of the Tomifobia River and the border runs through it. Two companies are housed in the building: an American corporation buying American raw materials and turning out products for American customers; a Canadian corporation turning Canadian materials into Canadian products. Both are called the Union-Butterfield Division, which belongs to Litton Industrial Products, Inc. in the U.S., and to Litton Business Systems of Canada, Ltd. on the other side. No machinery, materials or goods can cross the borderline in the center of the building-carefully marked by wall plaques and dabs of red paint-unless...
...SALT II accord. By the time the former Secretary of State had completed 7 ½ hours of testimony, he had moved beyond Kant in arguing forcefully that today the U.S. must seek peace by pursuing two parallel paths: one attempting to find areas of cooperation with the Soviet Union and the other ensuring that the nation's military arsenal is strong enough to preserve the balance of power.

That burden we must assume, too, in any rational pattern of coexistence...
...Somebody who starts a rock slide does not have to be accountable for every last rock that hits a victim. The coup was heavily Communist in its organization, and since then the Soviet Union has taken operational control over many aspects of Afghan political life. That fact had an extremely unsettling effect on the Iranian government, which interpreted our acquiescence in it as potential collusion between us and the Soviet Union in creating spheres of influence. It also had an unsettling effect on Pakistan. I do not want to imply, though, that there was much we could have done about...
