...This plehora of contradictory and evasive responses is reminiscent of the man in the Sholem Aleichem story who, when asked by a neighbor to return the pot he borrowed, responded that, first, he had already returned it; second, it was broken when borrowed; and third, he never borrowed it in the first place...
...another neighbor, Karl Zaret, Rusty was "a good kid." Zaret adds: "I believe Rusty was just carrying out orders. The boy I knew respected his parents. He listened to what they said.

But the new spur into the Beng Valley (see map), he told TIME, was "another affair." When the government asked the Chinese to explain...

When he was a child in the West, he says, "Our idealisms were be kind to your neighbor. You respected your father and your mother, you exercised thrift and you saved-you saved for a rainy day." Today, "we really don't know ourselves. We haven't had time in the past 60 years to stop and get acquainted with ourselves. Our youngsters have idealisms which are somewhat grander in proportion...
