Distorted & Mistaken. Was the "mercy killing" justified? In the case of Mary Happer, clergymen think, the answer was clearly no. "It seems that Miss Happer still possessed a good deal of vitality," says Dr. Charles Philip Price, Episcopal preacher at Harvard. "The act of taking her life could be at best a distorted and mistaken decision." One of High Oaks's directors, in fact, insists that Mary was responding well to the spiritual treatment. Even if she was certain to die, argue pastors, no one has the right to take into his own hands the decision to shorten another...
...offensive is marginal, and since U.S. nuclear superiority will enable the U.S. to outbluff the Chinese and the Russians on ground escalation. Therefore the day-to-day facts I.F. Stone documents are only the superficial phenomena of the power realities. Radicals, liberals say, have always shivered in horror and mistaken atrocities for the real issues.

Ignoring instructions to dive into the nearest bunker, Mauldin sprinted into action while chattering out loud in English as a precautionary measure: clad only in shorts, he was eager not to be mistaken for one of the Viet Cong, who habitually sport such abbreviated battle dress...
Realities & Fantasies. The pastor's latest blastled a government spokesman to suggest that it would be wiser to ignore the thoughts of a man "who cannot always distinguish clearly between realities and fantasies." Hannover's Lutheran Bishop Hanns Lilje called ballot invalidation "a mistaken means of striving for peace." Hamburg Theologian-Preacher Helmut Thielicke said: "Niemöller is a typical German, who has no sense for compromise." But German church leaders, though embarrassed by Niemöller's political views, have never moved to depose him because of his international prestige. At 73, he has retired...
