This collection was given to the Library by Donald E. Nuechterlein of Charlottesville, Virginia on May 20, 1992.

He was a visiting professor at St. Antony's College in Oxford, England, from September to December 1982. He is the author of five books on international relations, including National Interests and Presidential Leadership: The Setting of Priorities (Western Press, Boulder, Colorado, 1978) and America Overcommitted: U.

This collection of ca. 80 items, 1989-1992, consists chiefly of newspaper columns written by Don Nuechterlein, along with a few reader responses. Included are columns on world affairs, American foreign policy, the war on the international drug cartel, and his own retirement from U. S. government service, written chiefly for The Daily Progress , as well as for the Richmond Times-Dispatch and the Roanoke Times & World-News . Letters, 1989, commenting on Neuchterlein's columns include ones from William T. Stevens (January 22) re his column "Restraining Military is Not Retreat," D.
