...large number of experts attacked the notion that the invasion might offer any long-term solutions to the Middle East crisis. George Ball, former Under Secretary of State, was one of the harshest critics of the U.S. policy that was evolving last week. Said he: "The Administration is indulging in an act of self-deception to think that the invasion will improve chances for a negotiated solution to the Palestinian problem in the occupied areas of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. All this has done is to make real negotiations impossible because it strengthens the hands of the most...
...harshest criticism of U.S. policy came from Peru and Venezuela, two countries that are involved in tense border disputes of their own. Charging that Washington had disrupted the basis of the O.A.S. and created a North-South breach in the hemisphere, Caracas sent a delegation to Western Europe to plead for an end to the European Community's economic sanctions against Argentina. The sudden surge of nationalism in Caracas raised fears in Guyana, meanwhile, that Venezuela might resort to military action to seize 58,000 sq. mi. of mineral-rich territory that have been the subject of dispute since...
...harshest engagements to date, 1,500 government soldiers swarmed around the rugged, inactive volcano of Guazapa last week, about 15 miles from the country's capital of San Salvador. They pounded the area with heavy artillery, while support aircraft rained down phosphorous bombs and 100-lb. and 500-lb. high-explosive charges. Their quarry was a guerrilla contingent that had turned Guazapa into a formidable stronghold. The attack aircraft were hit by heavy ground fire from machine guns, while Salvadoran army helicopters ferrying in troops took such concentrated fire that they tried to remain on the ground no longer...
...ADMIRE Noam Chomsky's consistency. For years, he stood out as one of the harshest and most articulate critics of American involvement in Vietnam. When Saigon became Ho Chi Mihn City in 1975, Chomsky took on the role of apologist for the new Vietnamese regime. That stance alienated many of Chomsky's disciples, as it increasingly became clear the infant Hanoi government was subjecting its own citizens to more egregious repression than ever. The price of Chomsky's steadiness was high indeed: he lost much of his influence among the American Left...
Earlier this month the MMS officially censured and placed on probation Drs. Benjamin Covino, head of the anaesthesiology department at BWH. Aaron J. Gissen, professor of anaesthesiology, and John A. Wark, a former anaesthesiology staff member at BWH, for writing the recommendations. The censure is the harshest disciplinary action short of expulsion the society can hand down. Although the MMS is not directly involved with issuing licenses, it will inform the state board of their action. However, Dr. William B. Munier, the society's executive vice president, said recently he did not think the letters were a serious enough action...
