Lincoln Gordon died a few weeks ago at the age of 96. He had graduated summa cum laude from Harvard at the age of 19, received a doctorate from Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, published his first book at 22, with dozens more to follow on government, economics, and foreign policy in Europe and Latin America. He joined the Harvard faculty at 23. Dr. Gordon was an executive on the War Production Board during World War II, a top administrator of Marshall Plan programs in postwar Europe, ambassador to Brazil, held other high positions at the State Department and the White House, a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, economist at the Brookings Institution, president of Johns Hopkins University. President Lyndon B. Johnson praised Gordon’s diplomatic service as “a rare combination of experience, idealism and practical judgmentâ€

Nice thought provoking piece in the vein of Paul Craig Roberts. As to the Brazilian "desaparecidos" campaigns against leftists, those are soon to be repeated in Rio with the upcoming Summer Olympics that The Messiah lost for the homies in Chicago.

Brazilian public safety authorities have candidly admitted that they have a serious problem with favela street urchins and gangsters that will have to be plausibly dealt with soon in order to make Rio attractive to Olympics tourists and paparazzi. The waters of the South Atlantic will again run red with shark chum pushed out the doors of Brazilian Air Force transport aircraft.
