...shocked; all of us must be sleeping. In "Lighting Up With Coal" [Jan. 20], it is reported that the Mohave Power Project will "gobble up the equivalent of two 100-car trains of coal each day when its giant furnaces begin operating...
...Your Essay "The Morality of War" [Jan. 20] was thoughtprovoking, and on a subject about which thought should be provoked. I myself cannot justify any sort of mortal violence. Such abstractions as "freedom" lose their meaning when used as justification for killing. You can't save a man for democracy by shooting him and bombing his children (even if in "error"). Since life itself is the only sure human value, and therefore the measure of all others, the taking of it is certainly immoral. Viet Nam, with hypocrisy-cloaked brutality on both sides, only confirms my distaste...
...President Johnson took a giant step with the appointment of HEW Secretary Gardner [Jan. 20]. It should be a life time appointment: without him the Great Society would be a fiasco; with him, there is hope. God help us if this post ever again becomes a political sop. ROBERT W. CARSON, M.D. Salt Lake City Sir: Secretary Gardner's comments about top executives who cannot tolerate first- class men around them illustrate what is subconscious knowledge among supervisors and employees in business and Government. The symptoms of "injelititis or palsied paralysis" are best described by C. Northcote Parkinson...

What is surprising is that he has also bungled his public relations. His inconsistent statements, his embarrassing lack of information, and his failure to consult the legislature and university officials before...
Baker also elaborated on his early friendship with the late Democratic Senator Robert S. Kerr, to whom he previously claimed to have turned over $99,600 in campaign contributions from California savings-and-loan executives (TIME, Jan. 27)-money that the Government charged he largely diverted to his own use. Under cross-examination by Justice Department Attorney William Bittman, Baker told of buying stock some 15 years ago in the Oklahoma millionaire's Kerr-McGee Corp. He testified: "That would be the first start of any relationship that I had with the Senator, because he said...
