...about Schmidt's handling of the matter. The flap erupted when it seemed that Carter was going to cancel production of the neutron weapon because, among other things, it had received no public support from the West German government. In the face of a scare campaign against the "inhuman" warhead that was skillfully fanned by Moscow, Schmidt apparently would not risk backing the weapon openly, although he did so privately. While the President eventually made no decision-he neither authorized the weapon's development nor definitively dropped it-the episode triggered a political flurry in Bonn. The Bundestag...
...into a nuclear holocaust. But, as supporters note, NATO is a defensive alliance and the neutron bombs would only be used on allied territory to beat back a Soviet attack. Soviet propagandists have played artfully on the debate. In Pravda, for instance, President Leonid Brezhnev called the bomb "an inhuman weapon."

It envelops the audience in grief and suffering, and long after the show has ended, the pain does not easily go away...

It is just that, over the last two years, I have been exposed to what seems like an enormous volume of literature, activity, and so forth, by radical feminists and radical lesbians displaying an almost inhuman hatred of men, a feeling that men were worthless and uninteresting, and (most worrying of all) feeling that the aforementioned feelings were good, wholesome, noble, liberated feelings to have...
...doctrinaire conservative, Burns actually was a wide-ranging and surprisingly pragmatic money manager who dismayed conservatives almost as often by pumping out money rapidly as he frightened liberals by keeping credit tight. The A.F.L.-C.l.O.'s George Meany called him "a national disaster" because of his "inhuman" insensitivity to unemployment. Actually, Burns has carried a lifelong feeling for the plight of the jobless. This is partly the result of his own experience as a pre-World War I Austrian immigrant to Bayonne, N.J., where at the age of ten he knocked on doors to help his father find work...
