Published in the new yorker, the New York Times, the Washington Post and the nation among other outlets. In his cover essay on the invisible bridge for the New York Times book review this past sunday frank rich wrote, it says much about perlsteins gift as a historian that he persuasively portrays a silky splendor interlude between the fall of nixon and the rise of reagan as his subtitle has it.

We advise prior around Technology Decisions and things like that, but on the actual whatev
About egypt. We saw a democratically elected president overturn in july. He has been held at an undisclosed location. We heard he will be put on trial in november. Given the fact this was almost any other country in the world we would have cut off all of our aid, what are you opposed to what the president decided to do . I know you expressed concerns. Can you tell us why. You have to look about the total picture. Egypt has been a strategically important country to the United States for 30 or 40 years. A lot of the fulcrum of the policy stance with having a Good Relationship military to military with egypts military and our military. I think that when a government or a country with which you are allied does something that you do not like, i think there are different ways of reacting than simply saying were going to punish you or cut this off or that off.
