Good policy is born out of knowledge and the ability to correlate and the ability to know what is or what is not important. We are confronted with the flaring up of nationalism in the underdeveloped countries of the world. We are confronted with regional animosities we refuse to face squarely. We have recently found a new political formula. namely. that of partition. partitions which carry in their wake the misery of the refugee and the smouldering emotions of revenge. We look aside and wistfully wish that. like the goblins of old in a shadowed bedroom. they will disappear If we do not look. Another step. as we know. toward finding the answers. is to ask the questions.
