of a new geopolitical divide and inspired cooperative
strategies that guided Western policy in the
decades that followed. So now you know. And now,

a narrative has taken hold in the National Basketball

to win over 50 games, suggesting parity in the
league. However, despite the competition, the

erosion. Adam Balilov, director of De -Faking
