In its cold, haphazard way, Apocalypse Now does remind us that war is hell, but that is not the same thing as confronting the conflicts, agonies and moral chaos of this particular war.

As many of them see it, an Equal Rights Amendment is −based on the evidence in the 14 states that have...

Graduate students--verve or no verve--lack the breadth of knowledge or expertise of professors that might enable them to attain these high ideals. With only haphazard guidance from a head tutor, graduate student instruction is essentially a case of you pays your money, you takes your chances...
