Abstract

BEAT THE DEVIL
Cockburn, Alexander | May 30, 1987 issue

add to cart   close window

The Dewey years led to the rabid interventionism of political leader Adlai Stevenson and in disgust some Democrats went for political leader Richard Nixon in 1960. Had the U.S. President John F. Kennedy become President in 1961, everyone would have avoided involvement in Southeast Asia and the horrors of the Alliance for Progress. And so on down the years. As things stand, with political leader Walter Mondale in the White House one have a vast improvement over a second term of the U.S. President Ronald Reagan.
