A Cold War redux
記事の冒頭を引用します。
Cold War buffs slipped into nostalgia last week as the United States and Russia swapped spies. For some, the hasty exchange of 10 Russian "sleepers" convicted in the U.S. for four men held as spies in Russian jails seemed too familiar, prompting speculation that the arrests might have been intended to derail the "reset" of relations between Washington and Moscow. For others, the fear was that the speed of the swap revealed that any "reset" was based on faulty premises.
つい最近米ソ間で起きたスパイの交換は冷戦時代に戻ったと感じる人がいるようです。
"redux" を辞書で見ます。
・Dictionary.com: brought back; resurgent: the Victorian era redux.
・Compact Oxford English Dictionary: brought back; revived: Damian has the veneer of the angry young man redux
・Wiktionary: Of a topic, redone, restored, brought back, or revisited.; Company policy redux; Dirty tricks redux.
Usage notes: Redux is always used attributively and after the noun rather than before it. The word may have entered popular usage in the United States with the 1971 publication of the novel Rabbit Redux by John Updike although it had previously been used in medicine, literary titles, and product names.
中々便利な単語ですね。 以前使った話を再使用する時のタイトルにぴったりです。 もちろん内容によって復活にも二番煎じにもなりますが。

They (arms control agreements) are built on a foundation of national self interest and verification measures. That is as true today as it was in the Cold War.
