...Asia suits the U.S. fine. Leaders in the region saw a protectionist in John Kerry: they heard that grave quaver whenever he pronounced the word outsourcing, a term that to Asians just means the livelihoods to which they are entitled.

In the 1960s he engaged in such antics as blowing whistles to interrupt Parliament, unleashing mice at the Danish Literature Academy and tossing firecrackers onstage at the Copenhagen Royal Theater...
