We?re Still No. 1!

Robert Kagan thumps his chest on The Washington Post op-ed page today, offering a provocative takedown of the "faddish declinism" taking over America. Americas share of the global economy?21 percent?is consistent with its stake throughout the past five decades, and the American military still outstrips the Russian and the Chinese. Its true, Kagan concedes, that Americas image is damaged, but is it really any worse than it was in the 1960s and 70s, when it suffered Vietnam, My Lai, the Watts Riots, and the assassinations of John and Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King? "The danger of todays declinism," Kagan writes, "is not that it is true but that the next president will act as if it is."

recipe: green papaya salad with shrimp

Recipe of the Day: Green Papaya Salad With Shrimp


Green papaya salad is a standard in Vietnamese restaurants. You can substitute other hard, crisp fruits or vegetables, like Granny Smith apples and jicama, for the papaya; what you?re going for is a neutral but powerful crunch.




I usually start with a quarter teaspoon of the chili-garlic paste to avoid incineration, but this salad is so tame that I boldly use a teaspoon. Many people will want more.

Another tip: unless it?s made very differently in Vietnam, consider pounding your ingredients together a little in a large mortar and pestle or crock to merge the flavors and let the lime juice and spices permeate the papaya. The name for this dish in Thailand, som tam (?????) translates as ?sour and pounded.? The threads of papaya are still whole, but they?re a little crushed.
