...drive to collect the signatures of students who pledge not to fight a war against Nicaragua. This drive has had the beneficial effect of drawing attention to the problems of U.S. foreign policy in that region. America should not go to war in that region because other options still exist besides the ultimate step of war. But more important, it is the U.S. which appears to be attempting to provoke war. Because options to war still exist and because the United States is the aggressor, fighting in that region could not be justified. If the nation goes to war there...
...appears the U.S. will not go to war and I am glad. We still have some peaceful options left such as the economic sanctions President Reagan recently imposed. But as he cut all economic ties with that nation, diplomatic responses to Libya's aggression may no longer exist.

...Laing, the favorite shrink of student rebels in the '60s, retains his romantic opinion of schizophrenics as brave victims who are defying a cruel culture. He suggested that many people are diagnosed as schizophrenic simply because they sleep during the day and stay awake at night. Schizophrenia did not exist until the word was invented, he said. That was too much for Judd | Marmor, a former president of the American Psychiatric Association. He called the panel a "travesty." At a later panel, a woman in the audience asked Laing how he would deal with schizophrenics. Laing bobbed and weaved...
