(1) Does " tempers our judgments" refer to "restrains our judgments"?
(2) Does "National Guard Officer" refer to that Mr.Andrews is a National Guard Officer?
Context:
1) The potential volatility of Chinese society and politics tempers our judgments on short-term probabilities.
2) Prepared under the auspices of William Andrews, National Guard Officer. Inquiries may be directed to Mr. Andrews.
@oristarA,
Here "temper" means to modify or moderate.
I've never seen "National Guard Officer."
It should have his office stated:
Lieutenant, U.S. Army, National Guard.
He would not be addressed as "Mr."
