The article presents information about the usage of nuclear power by Great Britain. After announcing its nuclear power program the government published its White Paper on Defense for 1955, in which the whole of Great Britain's defense policy is based on the use of the hydrogen bomb from the first moment of a major war. The argument is as follows. Given the Communist camp's immense superiority in military manpower, the West cannot withstand an attack in Europe without using the full weight of its nuclear power-it is assumed that the use of tactical atomic weapons must immediately involve the use of the hydrogen bomb. So long as potential aggressors realize that war in any crucial area will be thermonuclear war, the existence of the hydrogen bomb is by far the most effective deterrent.

Discusses the relative health of the European economy compared with that of the United States. Despite concerns of the administration of President George W. Bush, expressed at the G-8 summit of leading industrialized countries, that economic weakness is spreading throughout the globe, Americans still routinely boast that their economy beats the socks off the rest of the world. Pick any year between 1995 and 2000 as a starting point, and the conclusion is the same: Europe's economy has outperformed the U.S.. Not only are U.S. growth figures inflated because American number-crunchers have done more than their European counterparts to take into account improvements in the quality of goods and services, but the U.S.'s population is also growing much faster than Europe's. Not only is productivity growth higher in several European countries than in the U.S.--so too are absolute productivity levels. The truth about Europe is that its weaknesses are not as big as they seem--and its advantages are underplayed. Obscured by all the cyclical gloom, Europe's new common currency, the euro, is already working its magic. Ironically, the biggest threat to Europe's resurgence is not homegrown. It is that the U.S.'s unsustainably unbalanced economy will finally crash, dragging the rest of the world down with it.

Argues that the United States should be wary of European integration. In the wake of World War II, there was no reason whatsoever for the U.S. to object to increased Western European integration, the expansion of intra-European trade, and the pacification of ancient conflicts. In fact, there were many good reasons to endorse and encourage increased European integration. But this analysis always obscured something at the heart of the European project. From the beginning, European unity was understood as a counterweight to the global hegemony of the United States. The United States of Europe (USE) would become a separate legal body, and member governments would be formally subordinate to it. The areas of competence for the new superstate range from public health to farming and fishing, from economics to social policy and civil rights. National governments would have no power to regulate these matters unless sanctioned by Brussels. The USE is the obvious next step for this essentially French project. And it couldn't come at a less propitious time for U.S.-European relations. Moreover, the future USE in some ways is designed specifically to avoid the larger entity dissolving into a loose federation of nation-states, some Atlanticist, some anti-American. One thing that could unify Europe is a clumsy U.S. intervention to prevent it.
