• The Determinants of Aid in the Post-Cold War Era

The authors estimate the responsiveness of aid to recipient countries' economic and physical needs, civil/political rights, and government effectiveness. They look exclusively at the post-Cold War era and use fixed effects to control for the political, strategic, and other considerations of donors. They find that aid and per capita income have been negatively related, while aid has been positively related to infant mortality, rights, and government effectiveness.

• ; Cold War-Style Criticism Is Thoughtlessly Damaging U.S. Interests

There is something weird and rather disturbing about Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) - a U.S.-funded media outlet that is famous for broadcasting information during the Cold War to support our friends and undermine our enemies - attacking an ally over our mutual enemy, radical jihadism. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty has claimed repeatedly that Azerbaijan is not at risk from the threat of spreading Iranian- backed radicalism and therefore, accuses it of human rights violations for considering banning head scarves in public schools (something France did recently) and imprisoning radical clerics who foment the overthrow of the government in favor of becoming a satellite of the mullahs in Iran.

• Documents Shed Light On State's Cold War Role

In the fall of 1952, as the Soviet Union reinforced its Iron Curtain around Eastern Europe and prepared to test its first hydrogen bomb, thousands of American troops fought communist Chinese troops in Korea. The Cold War had heated up, and in Washington, government planners began thinking the unthinkable: How to keep the machinery of the federal government moving if its wheels were blown off in a nuclear attack on the nation's capital?

• ; Push for Troop, Arms Levels After Cold War

The political left is pressing the White House and Congress to inflict a wave of Pentagon budget cuts not seen since the post-Cold War 1990s. Liberals are citing the debt crisis and troop drawdowns from Iraq and Afghanistan to argue that now is the time for the Defense Department to shed people, missions and weapons after a decade of doubling arms spending after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

If you can do it in two lines and a look, I'm happy," says the British-born actor who roared onto the screen in 1986 with his first big role, as punk rocker Sid Vicious in "Sid and Nancy.
