Perhaps more important for the long run, though, is that Americans realize--from the entire experience in Southeast Asia--that the U.S. should not try to make over the world in its own conservative image. In the echo of this past weekend's hoopla about our own glorious revolution in the name of liberty and popular rule. Americans should insist that their government recognize the new government in Phnom Penh and extend aid to help rebuild Cambodia...
Perhaps I should ignore these pathetic people, embrace the new morals adopted by my nation, and look upon those dying souls as "not my business." It is most disturbing how history teaches nothing, for when I shout "Viet Nam" into the canyons of my mind, the echo comes back "Munich...
...Philadelphia, John Cardinal Krol reacted happily to the news (see Fo-RUM). This week in Los Angeles a group called Mobilization for the Unnamed was to rally in support of the Edelin conviction outside the California Medical Association Center.

Short and slight, he still speaks with flat Yorkshire vowels and spends his few hours out of the Sunday Times office toiling almost obsessively at squash, skiing, Ping Pong and a book on photojournalism. He also serves as an occasional panelist on a television quiz show titled, aptly enough, Call My Bluff. Evans has long argued that British journalism should end its preoccupation with the elegant expression of opinion...
