Containing China? NSC-68 as myth and dogma
Article Abstract:
CCP Chmn Mao Zedong was more precise in his evaluation of the association between his revolution and the ideological purposes and power of the US than the authors of the NSC-68, a document used as the blueprint for American security policy throughout the Cold War. Mao forecasted that the American elites would be able to entice most Americans and the European middle classes to rally against Communism through containment. He also correctly envisioned that the US would use the strength of the free world to bring about internal changes.

The United States and India: recovering lost ground
Article Abstract:
The relationship between the United States and India has not been clearly defined in the post-Cold War era. India's earlier alliance with the Soviet Union and its unwillingness to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty and Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty made it suspect to many Americans. The contentious India-Pakistan relationship also complicated matters. The US can forge a future relationship by encouraging Indian democracy, economic deregulation and working out a strategic partnership while dealing with India's nuclear status.
