    From the Editor . . .

      Dr. Strangelove, I Presume?

      "Probably an effort to reduce the global holdings of nuclear warheads to zero would be both unwise and impractical, but reaching a total far, far lower than 30,000 seems indicated as a vital first step toward sanity in the arms reduction arena."

      The Psychological Bases of War

      by Robert A. Hinde

      Prof. Robert Hinde

      Bridging Gaps In the Study of
      Public Opinion and American Foreign Policy

      First of three extracts from the proceedings of a one-day conference held at Chapel Hill, NC, on January 10, 1998, sponsored by the Triangle Institute for Security Studies

      Prof. Ole Holsti

      “We have an increasing amount of evidence from archival research, interview research, and firsthand accounts [suggesting] that policy making really begins with public opinion. — Prof. Ole Holsti, Duke University.”

      Ambassador Henry Grady and Indian Independence:
      A Historical Retrospective

      by Robert K. Olson

      Amb. Henry Grady w/ George McGee “[Gandhi] urged [me in 1942] that nothing should be done to prevent the invasion of India by the Japanese. The reason he gave was that the Japanese could do no real harm to India — at least no greater than what the British were doing.”
