...Washington Post that his army would not necessarily attempt to stop U.S. troops from entering Cambodia in hot pursuit. Provided, he added, that 1) Viet Cong or North Vietnamese troops had entered Cambodia illegally, a move that he now concedes they have made in the past, while continuing to insist they are not there now; 2) the U.S. launches no serious raids, bombings or actions in populated frontier areas but confines itself to "uninhabited outlying regions difficult to control;" and 3) the South Vietnamese be kept out of any hot pursuit into Cambodia. For good measure, Sihanouk offered to receive...
Purists still insist on an artistic division between modern dance and ballet: the one should be symbolic, angular, Freudian and sparse; the other dramatic, explicit and lush. But the wall between the two is crumbling rapidly. In any number of U.S. cities, a succession of ensembles on tour have given dance buffs ample opportunity to witness growing evidence of the intersection between modern dance and ballet. Such works as Robert Jeffrey's Astarte and the Harkness Ballet's Time Out of Mind created much of their impact by incorporating modern-dance patterns into ballet. Last week, at Manhattan...
Under Momyer, the number of tactical air sorties over both North and South have doubled, and the general keeps track of them all with a Mc-Namaran touch for thoroughness and detail that constantly awes his subordinates in Saigon.

...costs about $30,000 per year, probably more, to maintain such an individual. It is not, I insist, crass to speak of money in such a situation: Money is human life in a hospital. If we had more money we cohld save more lives. Remember, this man was hopelessly unconscious. Are we obliged to treat such an individual when he can be kept "alive" only by extraordinary means? Pope Pius XII answered that question plainly, clearly: "No, you are not," he said. A little later we can consider the Church's attitude to these and related matters...
...this is supportable in that all organ and never centers do not become irreversibly damaged simultaneously: consciousness as a brain function is often irretrievably destroyed months to years before the respiratory and vasomotor centers fail. At the same time one can share Schreiner's (1966, p. 100) disconent and insist that "a coordinating vital principle exists which is either there or not there." This vital principle comes into being when the sperm fertilizes the ovum and persists until life no longer is present. The moment of death can only be approximated...
