4. In discussing the image of the United States abroad, Dudziak relies exclusively on English-language newspapers. It is not clear whether the views expressed there are representative of non-English newspapers (which, one assumes, were much more influential and more widely read).

5. It is not clear what travel Dudziak is referring to. She provides only the example of Justice William O. Douglas.
