...helicopter from the embassy roof between rounds of NLF artillery fire. The image of a fleeing Graham Martin should have taught us a hard truth: that no matter how much we talked about indigenous liberal "democratic" elements in underdeveloped countries, and regardless of how much our bombadeers tried to convey the superiority of the free enterprise system, the people of one nation, and probably others, weren't convinced. In the aftermath, President Ford called for a defeat without recrimination, which meant that the best the responsible elites could hope for was to escape the "tragic error" without blame...
...England Journal of Medicine. The issue is a complex and delicate one, and when I learned that The Crimson was preparing to run a story on the matter without even having seen my article I personally delivered a copy that evening, suggesting that reprinting it would convey my message more accurately than a set of paraphrases and selected quotations.

And Turner is equally good in the scene of the jealous lover, spitting out rage and a disgust of the flesh worthy of an Othello.

The recognition that society has made "one thing after another" happen in his life is Woyzekc's realization which should tie the play together, but Turner mumbles the line like a man already...
Clearly these letters do convey a feeling of Virginia's personality, but it is conveyed only indirectly. In the early letter to Clive Bell, for instance, it appears that she has communicated more of herself--her shyness, her insecurity, her distrust of men--than, doubtless, she intends. To see the Virginia Woolf in them, these letters must be read between the lines. What she does not say is often more interesting than what she does...
