Our “soft power” was expressed in the biblical injunction carved on the gates of the American University of Beirut, founded in 1866: “That they may have life and have it more abundantly.”I couldn't help but think semi-pornographic (pardon, improper and with apologies to Prof. Nye):
"Soft Power"-- is it the male organ after intercourse (or, in this current "let's talk about something interesting, let's talk about me" end-of-gender era, mym masturbation)?

From a review of Prof Nye's "novel"Alexa's copious charms notwithstanding, feel free to skip The Power Game's humdrum sex scenes. When Peter finally succumbs to Alexa's advances, for instance, his initial "driving, pounding torrent of passion" morphs into a postcoital "surge of guilt" as he recalls his faithful Kate back home. (But hey, at least a little hard power still gets you places in Washington.)
