...LAST CHAPTER. Quietly narrated by Theodore Bikel, this collection of rare film clips avoids the chamber-of-horrors approach in recalling the almost unbearably poignant history of Poland's Jews...

He caustically recalled that efforts to placate Japan in the late '30s "did not lead to peace, they led to Pearl Harbor," and snapped that many of the critics who preceded him were advocating that "same general approach to aggression in Asia today...
...there are times when the pilot's choice is not so easy, when a reasonable man might stay or go, and pressures may make the ultimate difference in his decision. Whenever possible, most pilots prefer to make landings according to visual (fair weather) flight rules, instead of instrument approaches that take more time and cost more in fuel.

The crash...
...most cautious and experienced pilots have been known to make just such errors. Example: the St. Louis crash that killed Astronauts Elliott See and Charles Bassett.
