Humanity is entering its fourth age. We’ve gone through hunting/gathering, agriculture, and industrialization and are now seeing the beginning of the technological age.

Leslie Gelb has written an article in Foreign Policy about the Cuban Missile Crisis. Gelb is an astute foreign policy analyst but the essay is truly overblown. We have known about Kennedy’s concessions to the Soviets in the crisis for many years and yet Gelb believes that information about the concession would have somehow changed the dynamics of American foreign policy if it had been more loudly telegraphed. Perhaps. The people who actually formulated foreign policy knew about Kennedy’s behavior from day one.
