Patrick Lawrence:
At this point we have to realize, with no help whatsoever from our press and broadcasters because neither they nor the powers they serve can bear to face it, that a new world order is taking shape before our eyes.
I have long viewed parity between the West and non–West, as I put it in the columns, to be a 21st-century imperative. This is now becoming a reality we must face, whether we have assistance or no assistance in this from our press and our public institutions.*
Patrick Lawrence, formerly a longtime International Herald Tribune correspondent, is a well-informed independent reporter on world affairs.
