Theoretically, the Administration was correct to hew a neutral line between Iran and Iraq, but changing circumstances call for a defter touch than the U.S. has displayed thus far. Says Richard Helms, a former U.S. Ambassador to Iran (and onetime head of the Central Intelligence Agency): "Now is the time to come to the aid of our moderate Arab friends...

Because of the current medical-legal climate, medicine is practiced in a defensive way. The average doctor may find himself performing tests and procedures that he would have considered unnecessary ten years ago, but which are now prescribed as a guard against possible mistakes in diagnosis and treatment.
