...Administration's statements and decisions have fueled a firestorm of protest in Europe against what many there see as the clear and present danger of nuclear war on the Continent. While ostensibly aimed at both superpowers, the political agitation in Western Europe has a distinctly anti-American, naively neutralist, even pacifist flavor. Worries about Reagan's finger on the nuclear trigger have also affected politicians who otherwise are in favor of the alliance and are by no means anti-American. Even so staunch a U.S. friend as Britain's former Prime Minister James Callaghan complained in the Times of London...
...wouldn't be better to settle for "Finlandization." If the Americans want to spend a lot of money to try to deal with the problem-let them. The Reagan defense spending programs will really begin to bite into domestic programs twelve to 18 months from now. Congressmen hearing neutralist noises from Europe could well revive something like the Mansfield Amendment, the Montana Senator's annual proposal, back in the 1960s, for reduction of U.S. forces in Europe...

The neutralist Indonesians are so concerned about Soviet penetration of their archipelago that they are considering asking the U.S. for submarine-detection equipment with which to monitor the underwater traffic through Sunda and Lombok...
...Castro had not said before. In Washington's view, the speech was primarily intended to enhance Castro's prestige as a senior statesman of the Third World. When he first addressed the U.N., in 1960, the 33-year-old Castro was a fledgling revolutionary, overshadowed by such neutralist giants as Yugoslavia's Josip Broz Tito, then 68, and India's Jawaharlal Nehru, 70. Castro has now survived for 20 years as Cuba's "maximum leader." He is also riding a wave of international prestige as chairman of the nonaligned nations, whose conference he was host...
