What drives Berry to get at the root of the problem is his firm conviction that the honor code is the "archstone" of West Point's stern motto: Duty, Honor, Country. Says he: "I do not think the code is anachronistic. Integrity is essential in the development of leader-soldiers." Indeed, Berry and many other high-ranking officers, including non-West Pointers, agree that the honor code serves an absolutely irreplaceable function, as do the more lenient codes at Annapolis and the Air Force Academy. All three academies accomplish their main purpose: they produce well-trained and dedicated officers...

...more information and more choice"--the film's motto--is not a real remedy for women who lack the luxury of a one-to-one, doctor-patient relationship.

...mainly broadcast syndicated shows, sports events and movies. He also races sailboats well enough to have been named Yachtsman of the Year in 1970 and 1973, and to have skippered Mariner in the 1974 America's Cup trials. "I'd rather sink than lose" is his shipboard motto, and crews can attest that "Terrible Ted" means it. But Turner does not look for easy victories. He bought American Eagle, a proven failure in two America's Cup trials, refitted her and skippered her to a series of impressive victories in the rugged Southern Ocean Racing Conference...
