I would remind Professor Howard that the very forces he's talking about, the forces of capitalist revolution, the forces of communication revolution are producing a more integrated world order, and we should not be so overcome by the specter of the past, that we can look to the future and have confidence that the national groups that are emerging can be a positive force in the reassertion of civil society, in the establishment of democratic culture, and in the achievement of a Central Europe, and indeed, a Soviet Union where national diversity can flourish and be the basis of a very creative social and economic order.
