Stevenson’s army, November 3

– Big night for GOP. It will have consequences, but observers are divided. Good summary from WaPo.

– CIA’s Burns goes to Moscow.

– Administration argues over “sole purpose” of nuclear weapons.

– Joe Nye says we shouldn’t call competition with China a cold war.

– Sen. Hawley, whose defense staffer was at our brownbag, has new bill for Taiwan aid.

– Good resources: while looking for something else, I discovered excellent recent CRS report on NSC and UVa site listing key staff in WH and NSC.

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I plan to republish here.
