The Vietnam Syndrome
By Christopher Hitchens --- August 2006
Agent Orange, used by the U.S. to defoliate Vietnam's jungles, has now poisoned a
third generation. From Ho Chi Minh City to the town of Ben Tre, photographer James
Nachtwey and the author confront that ecocide's most shocking legacy—horrifyingly
deformed children—even as new lawsuits could bring justice for more than a million
victims, both Vietnamese and American.

What Have We Learned, If Anything?
by TONY JUDT --- MAY 1, 2008
The twentieth century is hardly behind us but already its quarrels and its
achievements, its ideals and its fears are slipping into the obscurity of mis-
memory. In the West we have made haste to dispense whenever possible with the
economic, intellectual, and institutional baggage of the twentieth century and
encouraged others to do likewise. In the wake of 1989, with boundless confidence
and insufficient reflection, we put the twentieth century behind us and strode
boldly into its successor swaddled in self-serving half-truths: the triumph of the
West, the end of History, the unipolar American moment, the ineluctable march of
globalization and the free market.
