Unfortunately, the issue is not so simple. As doctors pointed out at the Kansas City hearings, many cancer victims opt for Laetrile even when there is still a good chance that conventional therapy will help them, thus seriously jeopardizing their hopes for recovery. Philadelphia Surgeon Jonathan Rhoads Sr. was not alone when he testified that such cases "have happened in my own practice." The FDA has another fear. If Laetrile is legalized - without a scintilla of proof that it works - the door could be opened to a host of phony cures and bring a return to what one American Cancer...

...costs through 1985, and that would have to be passed on in higher electricity rates to users. Coal lobbyists will join the attack: they fear that if power plants are forced to install scrubbers, they will either drag their feet as long as possible on converting to coal or opt for nuclear power instead. It is difficult to see how coal usage could be increased as much as Carter wants without the scrubbers, unless clean-air laws are relaxed-and that, of course, would bring the environmentalist lobby out in full...

...United States, as in other Western countries, there was widespread satisfaction with the results. As one State Department official put it, "Indian democracy worked-and with a vengeance." Although careful not to gloat, a Carter Administration official said he found it "refreshing to see so many people opt for freedom in what amounts to a referendum against martial law." Perhaps the most enthusiastic response of all came from New York's Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the former U.S. Ambassador to India (1973-75). He introduced a resolution in the Senate to "congratulate the free people of the Republic...

...fall victim to a similar paradox. Ideally, a film biography should be historically accurate, entertaining, and provide some critical insight into its subject. There is an obvious tension between these three elements, and few directors and screenwriters are able to achieve the delicate, necessary dynamic. Indeed, most directors opt for one of the goals--usually that of producing an entertaining film--and address the other two only cursorily, if at all; while entertaining, the results of such efforts are little more than loosely-based fictional treatments. Diana Ross was wonderful to watch and hear in Lady Sings the Blues...
