...Monday's editorial, "Live Modern," your excellent comments on smoking and lung cancer were marred by an ill-considered and overly-broad indictment of the AMA. You said that it seemed unlikely that the AMA would "take time off from its arduous lobbying duties to support a cause which, after all, will only save lives." Even though I am one of the most outspoken critics in my class at the medical school of the AMA's persistent and extreme economic short-sightedness, I can not let such a sweeping statement pass unchallenged.

...False Hopes. Yet, as Kennedy discussed the problems confronting him, his visitors could sense in his words the calmness of a man who, after long and arduous deliberation, had made some vast and grave decisions-and intended to stick by them. Only a few weeks ago talk was rife in Western capitals of a "deal" with the Russians over Germany; last week that talk had all but vanished. Kennedy is determined to go to war over Berlin if necessary-and he so warned Russia's Andrei Gromyko during their October talk at the White House. Because he has decided...
