...rationale behind the Corporation's policy is that some companies are doing more good than harm in their South Africa-related businesses. Although some companies do have programs to help Black South Africans, the ultimate result of their business is to help sustain the apartheid regime.

...Japanese justify keeping their military personnel out of harm's way by citing their "peace constitution," which the U.S. imposed after World War II and which restricts the carefully named Self-Defense Forces to the home islands and territorial waters.

An awful lot of people were found to be sickle-cell carriers, with no significant risk to their own health, but they wound up believing that eventually they would become ill. Insurers canceled policies. It is terrifying to look back on this experience, and a good reason to go slow on screening for cystic fibrosis...
