Beat the Devil
Cockburn, Alexander | May 24, 1986 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz. Shultz has become all the more dangerous since his discovery that journalists find him attractive and desire to be in his presence, so long as he talks tough in words of one or two syllables. In the opinion of the author Shultz takes his political analysis of the world from the Israeli Embassy and his concept of international law from Abraham Sofaer, the former judge and current legal adviser to the State Department. The article further discusses the ecstasies in the U.S. press over the collective statement on terrorism concocted by the U.S. and Great Britain.
