STANDING AT THE CROSSROADS

In: Foreign service journal, Band 64, Heft 9, S. 32-39

Abstract

FOR MANY OBSERVERS, THE MOST DRAMATIC MOMENT AT THE CONGRESSIONAL IRAN-CONTRA COMMITTEE HEARINGS WAS THE PERFORMANCE OF AN OUTRAGED SECRETARY OF STATE PUTTING DIPLOMACY BACK ON A MORAL PLANE. GEORGE SHULTZ EMERGED FROM THE HEARINGS WITH HIS OPPONENTS IN DISARRAY AND A NEW MANDATE TO LEAD REAGAN'S FOREIGN POLICY.
