...side in the war has a monopoly on such horrors. The Communists have committed more than their share of atrocities. At the My Lai trial in Fort Benning, Ga., Radio Operator Robert van Leer told of how the Viet Cong dealt with one captured American soldier. They fitted a bird-cage-like device around his head, said Van Leer, then filled it with live rats...
...have most of us dealt with the young on the campuses today-either our children or our students-and we probably share the same mixed view of their undoubted ability, their stupid and dangerous excesses, and their sometimes prophetic vision. On their side, though, is time. They will, in fact, inherit the earth, or at least our chunk of it; they will, in fact, soon vote.

...MANO BLANCA (White) Hand) which he organized in 1966 is the most important of the death squads.

Another possibility for changing criminal behavior is "aversion therapy," which is used, for example, to cure bed wetting in children. Instead of chiding or coddling the child, the therapist has him sleep on a low-voltage electric blanket linked...
...people's experience in a way that makes it hopelessly confusing. Not only on a personal plane, although the characters alternate between vapidity and impossibility, but on the historical plane to which Lean pretends. Lean, that is, declared he would only make pictures (Lawrence of Arabia, Dr. Zhivago) which dealt with revolution. So let's take Bolt-Lean's treatment of the Irish Revolution, which follows the shambles of Ryan's Daughter's first two hours...
