...many constitutional controversies, the debate over crime and punishment involves the emotions and physical security of every American. City dwellers in particular, for whom parks and streets after dark bristle with potential danger, would argue that the safety of the innocent is at least as implicit in the Jeffersonian ideal of "equal and exact justice to all men" as fair treatment for the accused...
...Maeght (rhymes with jog). Having made a fortune in the postwar boom selling the works of Chagall, Miró, Kandinsky, Braque and Giacometti, Maeght decided to enlist his artists' aid in building a showcase for their paintings and sculptures. Thus Giacometti was able to help plan the ideal courtyard for his wasted bronze figures, which today are in the open air looking like ghosts out for a stroll. Alexander Calder contributed a 41-ton stabile, a great black dog, for the front yard. Miró filled his section, a rock-wall garden, with droll ceramics, one a giant...
...Michael Anderson's case, it is a cottage with a sun deck on Sea Island's five-mile stretch of white fine-grained beach whose gentle slope is ideal for her two small children, Sayle, 4, and Jody, 1.

Europe, for example, has no stretch of shore that surpasses Cape Cod's Great Outer Beach with its soaring bluffs; no mountain lakes that are more breathtaking than those...
...fact that, as a student in pre-World War II days, he was exposed to-and agreed with-the strongly interventionist views of most of his college professors, who insisted that the U.S. had a duty to go to war against Nazism and Fascism.

In an essay published in 1940, when he was all of 21 and fresh out of Yale, Bundy wrote that "though war is evil, it is occasionally the lesser of two evils...
...supposed bravura, Harvard's actors and tech men know pretty well how good they are. They have seen plenty of professional productions, they live in an academic community in which excellence is mere entree, and they carry or hide within themselves large quantities of insecurity or humility. Under such ideal conditions as the Loeb appears to provide, they are made particularly aware that their ineptitudes will be revealed. So they worry, and limit their imaginations, and, I would bet, spend far too much energy trying not to make mistakes...
