...Like Bullet Holes. This "contagion of blood," as Italian Author Indro Montanelli called it, has understandably dismayed other nations, which despite their own long histories of violence have come to expect something better of the U.S. "Recourse to violence as a form of solving differences is one of the philosophic norms which the Yankees have spread with greatest efficacy throughout the world," lectured Barcelona's El Noticiero Universal, overlooking Spain's own sanguinary history. Foreign critics also tend to forget that there are many different forms of violence. A police state, which operates on the threat of violence...

Sinai Hospital illustrated his talk for ABC with a plaster model of the brain; painstaking journalism can be painful to watch. So, too, was the appearance of Dr. Lawrence Pool of Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, who had talked long-distance to a member of the Good Samaritan surgical team and who on CBS's Manhattan radio station-and later on NBC-TV-gave Americans the first warning that the brain damage was much more "ominous" than...
