The World Order Models Project and its Critics: A Reply

Perhaps because of the "complex interdependence" of my long association with Tom Farer, his review essay devoted to the World Order Models Project (WOMP) was a deep disappointment for me on several scores. Two quotations are expressive of my reaction. The first, uttered by a Republican businessman stunned by Nixon's visit to China in 1971: "When Dick Nixon sells out his friends, he really moves the goods." Farer's elaborate mixture of snipes, barbs, innuendo, and geniune criticism represents a sort of accomplishment, it really moves the goods, and has been received with thinly disguised glee by all those disposed to regard WOMP with antipathy in any event. The second quotation is from The Futurological Congress, a novel by the Polish science fiction writer Stanislaw Lem: "Oh Professor-I felt like shoutinghere you sit, and out there the world is coming to an end. "1 What I mean to suggest, of course, is that the perils of the world situation are so severe that we need to gather our energies for constructive efforts. Farer's review, whatever else, is so condescending and acerbic that I doubt that anyone could claim for it a constructive intent or effect.
