1. Herewith a few disjointed comments about the new CT
program -- even though I was unable to attend during the first
two weeks. One or more SIC staff members did attend all of the
substantive lectures during Part I -- with the purpose in mind
of building bridges from the universal to the somewhat more
specific, from the domestic to the international scene. They
found the external speakers -- for the most part -- highly
stimulating. However, I find the staff concerned -- as I an --
that this meal being set before the CTs has commenced with
dessert (Cherries Jubilee perhaps;) to be followed by an entree
which may be looked upon as corned beef hash: The chefs who are
preparing elements of the entree are experimenting with new
recipes about which they are now somewhat concerned since the
dessert chef has begun with the piece de resistance.
I suspect that there are a number of rather profound
pedagogical lessons to be learned from the way in which we have
shaped this particular program -- in terms of developing staff
competence and teamwork, and particularly in terms of the way in
which the students will react and evaluate. I'm looking forward
to some lively discussion concerning the results of these five
weeks in terms of the ultimate configuration of the one basic
program towards which we are now airing.
2. has been attending the series of
lectures at the National War College covering the Soviet Union.
This provides SIC with an excellent opportunity for maintaining
currency on the viewpoints of leading academicians. The facts
concerning international developments we can easily accumulate --
the interpretations seem harder to come by and the NWC series is
most helpful.
