Making the Future by Noam Chomsky - In demonising America, Chomsky has fallen into the same trap as the neocons"We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality ? judiciously, as you will ? we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out.

Keeping Up with the Germans by Philip Oltermann - A fascinating tribute to modern German reasonablenessA characteristic element in the long, sorry story of Anglo-German encounters is the assertion that, finally, past stereotypes have been put behind us and we (the British) have moved on from the crass, backward-looking gurning of the past in favour of a mature embrace of the Federal Republic.

Letters: Critical factor - The first thing I noticed when I moved to Britain in 1985 was that the literary reviews were usually mere summaries and rarely critical (What a hatchet job!, Review, 4 February). I used to complain to my British friends that any 12-year old could be a critic here.

Alain Robbe-Grillet's 1957 novel is all structure and very little narrative.
