A quiet, residential address in one of the newer north London suburbs. George Radfern, decent, respectable citizen and householder spends his Sunday evenings in his greenhouse, listening to Handel on the wireless. But when his grasping in-laws and daughter's obnoxious beau try to coax more money from him, George makes an unlikely confession. An exploration of greed and dishonesty in suburban England, Priestley observes the facade of middle class respectability, and its crooked undercurrent with verve and humanity in this immorally comic story of money, family, and criminality. 410 0$aOberon modern plays. 606 $aFamilies$zEngland$vDrama 606 $aFamilies$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01728849 606 $aDrama & Performance Studies 606 $aPlays, playscripts$2bic 607 $aEngland$2fast 608 $aDrama.$2fast 608 $aDrama.$2lcgft 615 0$aFamilies 615 7$aFamilies. 615 4$aDrama & Performance Studies. 615 7$aPlays, playscripts. 676 $a822.92 700 $aPriestley$b J.

AN AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY -- $tNOTES -- $tIndex 330 $aThis iconoclastic and fundamental work, Eric Nordlinger's last, advocates a new variant of isolationism, a "national strategy" confining U.S. military actions largely to North America and to neighboring sea-and air- lanes but encouraging international activism and engagement in nonsecurity realms. In Nordlinger's view, disengaging from security commitments on distant shores would liberate the United States to use its resources and decision-making powers to act more effectively abroad in matters of economic policy and human rights. A national strategy would then become a powerful new method of encouraging international ideals of democracy, and isolationism would be freed of its previous associations with appeasement, weakness, economic protectionism, and self-serving nationalism. Nordlinger draws on the recent historical record to show that a national strategy would have lessened the perils of earlier decades, including those of the Cold War. While real dangers did exist during this period, engaged strategies, such as containment, too often exacerbated them. The United States could have effectively and far less expensively helped to deter Communist aggression in Europe and Asia by encouraging other nations to make larger investments in their own protection. Marshaling impressive empirical evidence in defense of a controversial position, this final work by a leading scholar of international affairs is essential reading for scholars, practitioners, and lay readers alike. 606 $aIsolationism$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1989- 615 0$aIsolationism 676 $a327.73/009/049 700 $aNordlinger$b Eric A$032441 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785163703321 996 $aIsolationism reconfigured$93780586 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01122nam 2200361 450 001 9910131589103321 005 20240207183432.0 010 $a1-55441-976-X 035 $a(CKB)3680000000168188 035 $a(NjHacI)993680000000168188 035 $a(EXLCZ)993680000000168188 100 $a20240207d2006 uy 0 101 0 $afre 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 13$aLa trahison des e?lites politiques /$fAlain-G.
