...reporter Nadya Labi, who is following the flight. Other balloonists have had to do the aeronautical equivalent of gymnastics to try to get around China, dooming their flight. So why haven't we heard and seen more of this particular mission? Though Piccard comes from a distinguished aeronautical family, neither he nor Jones has the name recognition of a millionaire tycoon balloonist like Richard Branson, says Labi. But don't worry.

Such uniformity is neither possible nor desirable. The modern liberal tradition which undergirds our academic life demands that we develop ourselves first and foremost as humans, not as members of particular groups. This tradition demands that we consider the whole, not merely the particular, if we are to be complete.

...weariness of the public. And he never confronts the basic reality that his 1973 peace accord fudged rather than resolved the issue of whether the communists accepted South Vietnam as an independent country. He is right to be dismayed, but has little justification for being shocked, that neither the North nor the South ever worked hard at reaching a political rather than a military resolution--or that there was little appetite in the U.S. to re-engage in the struggle...
