...morale problem. The U.S. reasoning runs like this: so long as the bombs were raining down, the North Vietnamese people saw the need for sacrifice. But once the bombing stopped, the populace began to look for some fruits of what their leaders said had been a glorious victory. None were forthcoming, and the regime has been forced to exhort its people more than ever to work harder and retain a warlike spirit. If this analysis is correct, then all the allied claims justifying the bombing as demoralizing to Ho's people would seem to have been in error...

Ginott is now a resident expert on the Today show, writes a monthly column for McCall's and frequently lectures around the country. A new book, Between Parent and Teenager, repeats the principles in Ginott...
...John Ruskin. "The whole function of the artist," wrote Ruskin, "is to be a seeing and a feeling creature. He may think, in a byway; reason, now and then, when he has nothing better to do; know, such fragments of knowledge as he can gather without stooping, but none of these things are to be his care. The work of his life is to be two-fold only: to see, to feel...
