from Anne Marie Slaughter's blog, The Atlantic Monthly Sept. 18
"In plain English, the Cold War world was like chess. The 21st century world is more like
tennis . . . Or take surfing " Anne Marie writes in her article, Adapting US Policy in a Changing International System.
Now I'm really scared. I was never all that happy with the chess metaphor, considering that, statistically speaking, there are more chess games possible than there are atoms in the universe.
So, hmmm. Has anyone seen the surfing movie, Riding Giants?
