I went to a lecture given by Senator Hagel at the Bank two weeks ago to a packed audience. Senator Hagel was remarkably honest and selflessly promoting his new book "America: Our Next Chapter". My initial expectations were exceeded and what stood out was a Senator who believed in bipartisanship and international consensus. Maybe it was only because he is not standing for elections and set to retire from the Senate?
Now, i just read his article in the Harvard International Review: "At a Dangerous Crossroad". Basically his Bank lecture recycled with some finesse.
