IN BRIEF: The Lesson of Angola - Stanley R Rader - April 1976

Stanley R Rader

Former Secretary of Defense James A. Schlesinger, forced to resign late last year after losing a power struggle in Washington with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, has written in the February issue of Fortune that "global realities have thrust us [the American people] into a role that we might have preferred to avoid. It is an unenviable fate. Yet, it must be faced soberly. There is no escape." Mr. Schlesinger sees a specter arising and haunting Europe - a specter of Soviet hegemony resulting from the steady expansion of the military power of the Soviet state. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
