...Cambridge-based academics who participated in the antiwar movement in the '60s and '70s agree that the United States engaged in criminal activities in Indochina and that the war crimes issue remains a significant one, but differ drastically on the lessons to be drawn from American involvement in Indochina. Noam Chomsky, linguistics professor at MIT, says that if there were war crimes trials, they should focus primarily on the question of U.S. aggression against Vietnam and Cambodia. It would be naive to concentrate on the brutality of the U.S. war effort, Chomsky said in an interview last week, since...
...most sought-after experts aboard was Dr. Georges M. Halpern, vice president of France's Société de Gastronomie Médicale, who was perhaps the slimmest man aboard.

...futuristic ten-speed British Hetchins for $900, or the Italian Coinage for $1,200. Such merchandise features an airiness that makes spider webs appear cumbersome, and offers gears so refined that they ought to be able to do logarithms. Yet the superbikes' forward motion does not differ substantially from that of the cheaper models. Non-aficionados often wonder whether it might be cheaper to buy ten $100 models, replacing each one as it gets worn out. Or, more likely, stolen; bicycle theft has become America's fastest-growing crime...
