...WrestleManiacs, old and new, cry: So what? It's fun! See the Hulkster cream an adversary, whether Rowdy Roddy or little Richard! See Cyndi molest Moolah! See, especially, Andre the Giant, all 7 ft. 4 in. and 474 lbs. of him, defend his honor against Big John Studd! If Andre body slams Studd to the canvas, he wins $15,000. If not, he retires. And justice triumphs! Andre pulverizes Big John, picks up a tote bag carrying the $15,000 and tosses bills out to the adoring throng. Now that's entertainment...
...would leave the U.S. to confront Soviet expansionism all alone. No country would enter or maintain an alliance with a U.S. that specifically refused to fight in its defense. But in the real world, an outright Soviet attack against a country that the U.S. is committed by treaty to defend is quite unlikely.

There is no doubt that the president has forthrightly and repeatedly made public the grounds of his opposition to divestiture-mostly through the issuance of several open letters on the subject-but he has yet really to defend his position in the glare of public attention...
...this year three burglars have been shot and killed by angry homeowners. Marie Morrison, 78, shot a 16-year-old youth who tried to force his way into her house. Detroit Mayor Coleman Young praised her action, declaring, "Every person has a right and an obligation to defend their own home." Daniel Kindred, 41, killed Ronnie Trapp, 19, when he saw Trapp climbing out of a basement window of the Kindred house. Last week Wayne County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Elliott Hall decided not to seek charges against Kindred, contending that the homeowner's retaliation was "perfectly justified." In the third...
