...question one asks is: When do these qualities disappear? Assume that the children of our modern wars are like those of any time. Why then does the institution of war continue to do so well? Here are some 30 children from five warring nations, most of them eager to make and keep the peace. If their nations were handed over to them right now, it would be pleasing to think that peace would follow. Of course, nothing will be handed over to them until they are ready, and by that time they will be grown up like us, and changed...
...motion pictures and other quality programming for television. The property rights of these artists are ignored every time someone tapes a program without compensation to the copyright owner. Unless Congress comes up with an equitable formula for protecting copyright owners whose programs get taped, much of their work may disappear from the free TV market altogether...
...blame for most of our short memory belongs on the shoulders of American liberals and leftists, the Democratic Party, and our religious leadership. They've let the issue, as they've let many other like it, disappear. It is an old axiom that only the threat of American deaths will arouse American concern; El Salvador seems a case in point.

The highly developed feline "flight-fight" mechanism may provide insights to the response in humans. So useful are cats that tens of thousands of them disappear into the nation's labs for experiments each year. Although researchers have studied cat brains with infinite care, none have discovered the secret of the cat's singular sound. The apparatus and meaning of purring remain a mystery of feline behavior, one of many unexplained traits that remain...
