Searching other times and places, Americans can cite greater or more frequent crimes than Pinkville. But one massacre is more than enough. My Lai is a warning to America that it, like other nations, is capable of evil acts and that its idealistic goals do not always correspond to its deeds. "Those whom the gods would destroy," wrote the late Thomas Merton, poet and monk, "they first make mad-with self-righteous confidence and unquestioning self-esteem."

...from one part of Germany to the other than to travel from Western Germany to foreign countries, even foreign Communist countries.

The Cabinet is primarily civilian, drawn from the extreme leftist, Pan-Arab intelligentsia; eight of its 24 members belong to the Sudan's Communist Party, the most entrenched in the Arab world. The Cabinet in turn is responsible to a Revolutionary Council of a "Free Officers Front," headed by the man who engineered the coup: Major General (he promoted himself from colonel overnight) Gaafar Mohamed Nimeri, 40, a dour single-minded soldier who received training at the U.S. Army Command and General...
