If a government fails in this basic duty, it is not redeemed by providing even the most perfect system for the protection of the rights of defendants in the criminal courts. It is a truism of political philosophy rooted in history that nations and societies often perish from an excess of their own basic principle...
Genuine differences exist over the key question of withdrawal of non-South Vietnamese forces. The N.L.F. and Hanoi demand unconditional evacuation of U.S. and allied troops with international supervision of the exodus.

Looking at it objectively, I have never seen a more lucid, more lonely, better balanced mad mind than mine...
Despite the hostile environment of the lunar surface, scientists cannot fully discount the possibility that living organisms exist on the moon. To guard against the possibility that potentially dangerous bugs will hitch a ride back to earth, NASA long ago devised a costly system to quarantine astronauts returning from the moon until it could be determined that they were not harboring alien diseases. Now, to the concern of some scientists, NASA has lowered its guard against a possible invasion by lunar organisms...
