Instead of NATO
By Ronald Steel
To expand, or not to expand. That is the question for NATO. Or so it would seem from the argument now shaking policy circles over whether to admit new members to the hoary cold war alliance. But the membership question is—like a married couple's squabbles over which route to take to the grocery store—only a clue to the depth of contention.

What may look on the surface like little more than a bureaucratic detail is a matter of enormous potential impact.
