Cruel Realities. The confrontation was inevitable, if long in developing. Restlessly brilliant, Illich has an ironically orthodox background: he has a doctorate in history from Salzburg University, studied theology at Rome's centuries-old Capram'ca and philosophy at the Vatican's prestigious Gregorian University. By the time he was 31, he was vice-rector of Catholic University in Puerto Rico and a monsignor.

From the Demilitarized Zone to the Ca Mau Peninsula, the land shows countless scars-spots that look as if a giant rake had swept over them, long parallel lines of deep craters walking across the plains and over the mountains. The scars are the result of tons of explosives rained down in an "Arc Light" mission, a B-52 attack...
