This period in our history is characterized by the growth of democracy in all areas of the world. There is understandable resistance to that trend on the part of those political, religious, and tribal forces whose power is thereby undermined. Terrorism is an extension of that resistance. The United States is a symbol of that democratic trend and the United Nations is the forum in which the political competition is taking place. To strengthen our resolve, our defenses, and our democratic commitment, the author calls for the American and international leadership to eliminate all nuclear weapons in the world and for a national resolve to establish a national voluntary Civilian Conservation Corps for 18- to 21-year-old men and women coupled with a new education incentive along the line of the Roosevelt GI Bill of Rights.

Political science, judging by the reading material that reaches my
desk, has become much more of a science than it was more than 50

Minnesota and Bennington College. It is important that this
development not distort the reality that politics and government
remain fundamentally human institutions. My own movement from the
academy to practical politics, to private life, and to government
service has reinforced my view that the unpredictable human
ingredient is an essential part of the political process—an obvious
observation but one difficult to quantify. Max M. Kampelman was counselor of the State Department,

Georgetown University Institute for the Study of
Diplomacy.
