[W]ith Washington now dusting off public diplomacy as a strategy to combat rampant anti-Americanism, is it time to revive cultural diplomacy?

The answer, tragically, is no. Martha Bayles explains why: It was one thing when we had Marian Anderson and Satch on our side. Who do we have now? [C]RAPPERS? That League of Nations vote against cultural imperialism wasn't just a vote against the big mean ol' U. S. A. It was a vote against Hollywood "values," the worship of sleaze and fornication and death. What with the GENIUSES of OUR AGE cultural diplomacy would probably do more harm than good.
