  • My father never left the courtroom. Even though investigation into his crusading Oklahoma law practice—where he had defended blacks, reds, and pinkos-—banned him from the Oregon bar decades ago, he has always stood with one foot before the bench.

    No longer having a judge and jury in court, he endeavored to instill in his offspring the intricacies of logic, legalism, and leftism. Of his children he made only one demand: We were to save the world.

  • The Uses of Empire

  • The goal is to construct a stable balance of power for the late twentieth century. Critics point out that no balance of power has ever assured justice, or even peace. War and the threat of war have been the central instruments of balance-of-power operations. A system based on a multiplicity of sovereign states is a poor vehicle for managing the crucial problems of our time. I consider those problems to be universalized ideologies in conflict; nuclear weaponry—and perhaps technology in tending to slip out of control; population explosion; maldistribution and looming insufficiency in energy and other natural resources; environmental deterioration; growth of multinational corporate power; the fragility of national and international economies; and on and on.

  • Latin America and the U.S.—That "Special Relationship"

  • Francis X. Gannon
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    06 September 2018, pp. 34-41

  • When a new President is elected in the United States, Latin America is visited by visible tremors of expectation. On assuming office, each U.S. President or Secretary of State, whether Republican or Democrat, manages to refer to the "special relationship" that is said to exist between the two halves of the Western Hemisphere. The heavy overtones of paternalism often associated with this pattern do not appear to be an inherent feature of its contemporary forms.
