Is the Defense Department or the Department of State likely to continue to pay for this kind of Center? The Ford Foundation is not likely to be of much help either if we may judge from the fate o? the Institute of Hispanic-American and L?so-Brazilian Studies at Stanford, an institution whose only apparent shortcoming was a propensity to attract Latin Americanists with independent views on the U.
