At a welcoming banquet in Japan in the 1980s, Ford Motor chairman Philip Caldwell received a memorably double-edged compliment. â€œThere is no secret about how we learned to do what we do, Mr. Caldwell,â€ said the head of Toyota Motor, Eiji Toyoda. â€œWe learned it at the Rouge.â€ Toyoda was referring to Fordâ€™s fabled River...

TOKYOâ€”When German executives visit Tokyo, they are often treated to a session at Berndâ€™s Bar, a notably authentic German pub. A bit too authentic, perhaps, given its Axis-era accoutrements. The last time I was there, one of the walls still featured a huge photograph of Willy Messerschmitt in conversation with Charles Lindbergh. It had evidently... Read More

Much as the capital loves ceremony, Washington wonâ€™t pause on Sept. 8 when Lt. Gen. William Odom is laid to rest at Arlington Cemetery. While he is worthy of his laurels, he did not court the favor of the Beltway political class. Instead, he disdained their blindness to history, their partisan fixations, their herd mentality....

Any attempt to resolve the crisis in the Middle East forces us -- the American people and American Jewry -- to appraise the motives and the ultimate goals of the leaders involved.

All of America's long legal tradition argues to the contrary, but in... Read More
