...little new to add by way of fact or interpretation to a subject summed up in his subtitle as "How World War II Began." But he is a first-rate memoirist. His service lies in reconstructing the mesmerized mood of the late 1930s, when Hitler taught those statesmen who tried to reason with him a ghastly object lesson in shattered complacency...

The new U.S. President had no way of knowing that De Gaulle's political demise was imminent but, as it turned out, Nixon's timing was lucky.

In the hands of Vietnamese riders, they are peculiarly lethal weapons; and when they are not moving fast enough to cause casualties...
...such an article. In true American style, Southern courts have already begun to quote the article as fact. I suspect, too, that our friends in South Africa will exult when they read it. All things considered, the article should go a long way toward establishing cordial relations between black statesmen and educators around the world and Harvard and the Americans...
