...Recently, Peking has made it a point to proclaim its delight at the prospect of the U.S.'s depleting its resources in a major land war in Asia. That prospect may seem less pleasing today. Where the Communists almost had victory within their grasp last spring, the U.S. now bars the way and stands ready to repel any other attempted aggression. Unless Peking and Hanoi withdraw from South Vietnam--and lose face throughout Asia--it is the Communists themselves who risk being bogged in wars that they can neither afford nor end.

Few Quixotes still proclaim that this war is being fought for ideals, and I believe there is no American--Protestant, Catholic, etc.--who is unwilling to welcome any type government into an alliance which will cooperate in preventing future wars.

Clinton's crisis will strengthen the resolve of those who resent American leadership and rattle the confidence of those who rely...
...reported Grove's view that technology is not good or bad, it just happens. That may be a reflection of society, but I'm still naive enough to want heroes. I want leaders to proclaim that if used wisely, this technology can provide one of the seminal moments in human evolution. The printing press, radio and television all come to mind as precursors of this revolution. Perhaps Grove has made his goals clear simply in his involvement with Intel, but if he has a view that reaches beyond our limited horizons, how I wish he had shared it with...
