    For decades, perceptions of U.S. power did not rely on the use of America’s unrivaled military might.

Also: today’s stories, including why the ceasefire in Lebanon left some northern Israeli residents saying they felt betrayed; how a new documentary about Lorne Michaels, the creator and producer of “Saturday Night Live,” promises unprecedented access to the legendary TV figure; and how a lone volunteer's effort to save monarch butterflies creates a caring community.
