...countries to cooperate. We have now in operation, and working, a worldwide counterterrorist network. A number of countries provided help and information in capturing the ship's hijackers, though I am not at liberty to tell you which ones. This year alone, we managed to force the terrorists to abort 80 other terror operations that were planned or under way; this we were able to achieve through the cooperation of hundreds of intelligence, security and police organizations. We have a lot to do in establishing the legal framework for automatic extradition, or in moving against nations that provide terrorists with...
...should be noted how pernicious is Spitzer's view that only if women can abort their children can they "overcome restrictive gender roles and gain the ability to face life with the same options men take for granted." This view assumes that women are biologically inferior because they bear children, that pregnancy and childbearing are a liability, that women can become equal to men only if they nullify their womanhood and become like...
...questions of the interviewer, often appallingly inane, come to us as interruptions, unsolicited intrusions.

...Wacker was quoted correctly as saying. "Those [students who would not abort] are probably the women who have never been pregnant," I find his remarks even more disturbing. Should indeed women who have experienced the sensation of a new life growing within them be the most prone to end that life, he has given a sorry commentary on the moral sensibility of Radcliffe women. I believe abortion to be justifiable under a number of circumstances (rape, for example). I would hope, however, that Radcliffe women would think twice before automatically deciding that a "goal-oriented" view of life...
