...Angell saw another unfortunate implication in the notion of conquering disease by positive thinking. "If the cancer spreads, despite every attempt to think positively," Angell asked, "is the patient at fault?" She pointed to remarks made by Humana Institute's Dr. Allan Lansing, who at a press conference expressed concern that Artificial Heart Recipient William Schroeder did not have the right attitude after his first stroke. The implication, she said, is that Schroeder was in some way responsible for his condition. At a time when patients are already suffering from disease, Angell concluded, "they should not be further burdened...
Some editors who dropped or altered the strip expressed concern about libeling Sinatra, but most felt the issue was one of fairness, not of law. Said Daily News Managing Editor James Willse: "If you say someone is charged with a crime in the past and don't give the disposition of the case, that's not complete reporting." Other editors viewed the episode as a tempest in an inkpot. "This doesn't seem to be one of the greatest issues of our time," said Washington Post Executive Editor Ben Bradlee, whose paper ran the series with a separate story explaining...
...immediate concern of security officials was whether the Walker ring had turned over key information on how the U.S. tracks submarines, thereby allowing the Soviets to develop evasion techniques.

But now they seem to have little concern for such formalities. "We are going to keep on destroying the contras," Ortega told workers during a visit to a textile factory Tuesday night, "even though we know that the U.S. will try to take advantage of these confrontations to create greater tensions between us and Honduras and Costa Rica." By crossing the borders in "hot pursuit" of the contras, Nicaraguan soldiers could create a pretext for greater...
...Soviet troops may be involved in the operation, which, according to the rebels, appears not to involve any Afghan army units. In addition, the Soviets enjoy overwhelmingly superior firepower. Said Majrooh: "The resistance has nothing to hit back with against something like this." There is some concern in Pakistan that the Soviet forces will be tempted to pursue fleeing Afghan rebels over the Pakistani border. Late last week Pakistan issued a strong protest to Afghanistan, accusing that country's warplanes of killing eleven people in a bombing attack on the Pakistani village of Sweer...
