...also bewildered by the sudden departure from news coverage to outright opinion. In describing the views of the more liberal candidates, the reporter observed that "the 90-minute session seemed more of a love-in than a debate," but neglected to use any direct quotes. Instead of putting forth disparaging remarks, the reporter might be more considerate of those whose views are less than mainstream. The Kennedy Institute of Politics insured equal time to each of the candidates. Perhaps The Crimson should follow that example. Jeremy Levy...
...gave a topic too much time, or jumbled together unrelated segments, some of them less than urgently newsworthy. Admits Executive Producer William Lord: "By thinking larger, we diluted the focus of the show." The biggest roadblocks, however, were local ABC affiliates. When the show expanded, twelve stations dropped it outright and 18 began to delay its broadcast time; in all, only 123 of ABC's 211 affiliates were carrying the show live...
...truly intent on making others disappear, he is far more likely to succeed by killing his enemies outright and announcing the deed publicly. Then at least one deals out certainty, which will probably be followed by despair.

Instead of a nation of mourners, the generals created a nation of snoopers, all pawing at the ground for bones...
Meanwhile, pressure built on Capitol Hill for an immediate redeployment, if not outright withdrawal, of the Marines. House Democratic leaders met to re-examine their support of a measure that allows the Marines to stay in Lebanon until April 1985, while three former CIA chiefs, Stansfield Turner, James Schlesinger and William Colby, urged that the men at least be moved from the Beirut airport. Said House Speaker Tip O'Neill, who firmly backed the Marines' extension last fall: "Patience is wearing very thin. There is no way we are going to be idle if the President doesn...
...most other countries, the problem has been outright neglect of agriculture in favor of more glamorous industrial development. As population growth and urbanization have surged out of control, the plight of rural areas has worsened. Often the state pays artificially low prices for farm commodities in order to finance urban-development schemes and to lower prices for people in the cities. One result: the importation of food has tripled in Africa during the past decade. Nigeria, which was once largely self-sufficient, spends $2 billion a year on imported food. In terms of per capita income and the availability...
