...price of a suicide pact, and the pair drive into a nearby river. Frantz's tape-recorded voice goes on sermonizing in the library: "The century might have been a good one, had not man been watched from time immemorial by the cruel enemy who had sworn to destroy him, that hairless, evil, flesh-eating beast -man himself...
During long debates about love, war and marriage, the drama loses any sense of immediacy. One situation-ethics crisis concerns whether or not to give London the go-ahead for a bombing raid that may destroy a village of 6,000 people, but Director Mann, curiously enough, makes a greater issue of blowing up a ferryboat. Since no movie can ultimately create real suspense about who won World War II, the only pertinent question becomes How. Tele-mark's answer is to pit Douglas and his right-makes-might pals against a Nazi elite force so inept that...
...early days of the dispute, Crane consciously sought to destroy the power arrayed against him--the five anti-Curry votes--by demonstrating that it was, in essence, unreal.

The editorial stated that "All of our successful operations have been confined...

As long as a guerilla force has complete freedom of movement, it can mass its forces and choose its battles so that it surprises even an "enclave" with superior numbers. The "search and destroy" tactic is not an alternative to "securing territory which is already held," as the editorial states. It is a necessary corollary to it. For territory can only be secure so long as the guerillas are aggressively presented from consolidating forces that are large enough to overwhelm areas "already held...
