...Koreas provide the best world example that it doesn't have to be this way, and that wise diplomacy now can correct the wrongs of four decades. Before 1945, Korea was an undisputed unit. But under the two systems of government progress has been vastly different. Per capita income is roughly 1.5 times larger in the South, and GNP is three times as great. GNP growth rate is twice as large for the South, and the North spends as much as 230 percent of its GNP for the military--vastly more than the South. With only half the population, North...
...peace movements and the current "German uncertainties" are to a large extent the West's self-inflicted wounds. A wise and prudent American foreign policy is a necessary precondition for the Atlantic Alliance. But the sufficient conditions needed to truly restore the whole moral and psychological as well as military balance of forces in Europe include a northern European left which has it eyes open about the Soviet Union and is convinced that there is something very fundamental at stake in the conflict between East and West.

It is surprising that he did not have the foresight to throw the rhetoric into the trash as well...

This results partly from the limitations of Schwamm's technique: the author frequently displays such annoying faults as complacently explicating the dialogue she has just penned. Nora's attitude towards her father, for example, is summarized: "She loved him and regarded him as wise-after-all. Sometimes she was ashamed of him, but mostly she loved him. He was her father." Descriptions tend to lack sensitivity of image. After a morning run in which she is pursued by two men. Nora's emotional state is discussed with passionate imprecision...
