...unleash a burst of violence by Salan and his S.A.O. Running gun fights in the streets obviously cannot overthrow De Gaulle; what Salan is believed to be counting on is bringing the Europeans out in a mass demonstration that will pose for the French army in Algeria the grim dilemma of either shooting down Frenchmen or tacitly joining with Salan. As a warning against a ceasefire, the S.A.O. last week plastered posters throughout Algiers. As if parodying De Gaulle's own grand style, the posters were headed, "I, Raoul Salan, commander in chief," and ended grimly by demanding...
Haiti exemplifies the dilemma of the Alliance, and illustrates the real applicability of the Cuban example. If it is too late to heed the advice of Earl E. T.

Dr. Stanley's way out of the dilemma is to broaden the definition of "living'' to include any particles that are capable of reproducing or replicating themselves. That covers viruses...
...have committed other sins, and in the Last Judgment they will be condemned to expiate them in purgatory or suffer for them forever in hell, but not so the babies. "The unbaptized infants go to heaven." writes Father Wilkin, plainly delighted to have found a just solution to a dilemma that has made Catholic theologians uneasy for centuries...
