Dear Stanley Hoffmann,
i wish to congratulete you upon your
courageous and so very necessary piece on the Bast Timor crisis
in todey's New York Times.
Por « long time I heve been feeling thet American forelan
policy hae been going in the wrong direction, that is, instead
of leading the world in en effort te solve the great global
problema in cooperation, that isy miltilatevally, one has
peen engaging either in ieoletioniem (where alleged vital
national intereats aro nob at stake) or else, as alleged
supervower, in unileteral (or allieance-co,,amdi g% MATOS)
interventioniem. i
Sinee I om almost blind, I have not been able to
deal. with nost~vold war problems of internationel polities
in more systematic fashion. But I put some of my ideas togethher
in a speech I gave at the occasion of my 90th birthdey
at the QURY Graduate Genter, and I beg to enclose the printed
wersion of it (brought out by the Keleh Bunche Institute
at GUNY) in ease you ere still interested inwhat an o1d
(nay, ancient) colleague of yours has to say
with beat wishes and kind regards,
FOuUrs,
