There was another very prescient article on W in that issue.

W.'s World nytimes.com

He has rarely traveled abroad, and he is skeptical of getting
entangled in foreign conflicts and enmeshed in international
organizations. That means that for the next four years, the
United States may be going it alone.


Sure looks that way so far. Somewhat related, this article from last week about how who seems to be running things so far: nytimes.com

In the search for successful cabinet members, it may be useful to consider
Mr. Rumsfeld in his first term as defense secretary. He displayed his political
skill in January 1976, when he surreptitiously secured support from the Joints
Chiefs of Staff and undermined Secretary of State Kissinger's efforts to
reach agreement with the Soviets on the SALT II arms control treaty.


The idea that Rumsfeld and Cheney outflanked Henry K on the right in the Ford administration is just a little scary.
