Moreover, the AWACs sale illustrates the lack of ideas at the root of Reagan's foreign policy. His essential Middle East policy apparently involves uniting God-fearing Moslems, Christians and Jews to repel the Godless Soviets. Such a posture betrays an ignorance of approximately 5000 years of history--"recorded" or otherwise--and signifies a misguided utopianism. Persistently advancing its spurious world view without taking into account the cultural context of Europe or the Middle East, the Reagan administration is left with an ideology littered with abstract platitudes: Liberty (as it invests faith in a repressive society); Anti-terrorism...
Workmen have been hastily installing extra steel filing cabinets for the tribunal in the castle-like Peace Palace, the court's home since 1913. Companies by the hundreds will soon begin bringing in documents. Among the largest claims to date: $50 million by the Houston firm of Brown & Root for the construction of shipyards and naval bases; $100 million by General Telephone & Electronics for the development of a telecommunications switching network; and $118 million by E.I. du Pont de Nemours for the building of a synthetic-fiber plant...

Rather than taking root in a counter-culture and espousing alienation from the establishment, the modern group of users is effectively indistinguishable from other elements of society. "These are people from the establishment," says Gelineau. "Most of their peers are content to turn and look the other way." Gelineau points out that in most large...
FINDING THAT HAPPY MEDIUM will pose practical and philosophical dilemmas for Bok. On a practical level, one of the root causes of the deterioration in student behavior in recent years is undoubtedly overcrowding. Some of the same Houses that Lowell once intended to hold few more than 300 students now contain more than 400. As any social psychologist or senior tutor will affirm, quarters cramped to that degree inevitably breed tension and unpleasant incidents. Not surprisingly, the committee that called for a race relations foundation last winter cited congestion as a main cause of racial incidents on campus. There...
