...these arguments eventually hinge on the question of proportion: whether the toll in death and pain is proportionate to the possible gains. The most vocal critics of U.S. policy answer no, but for various reasons. Scarcely anyone argues that a favorable outcome in Viet Nam is essential to American survival. On the other hand, few would agree with the position at the opposite extreme-taken by U Thant, among others-that Viet Nam is completely unimportant to U.S. interests. Chicago Professor Hans Morgenthau, a strong critic of U.S. participation in Viet Nam, defines that what is moral is what...
Joined by bone and flesh just above the buttocks, they had separate organs except for the rectum. Neither felt the other's pain, and their circulatory systems were largely separate. But a few, small arterial branches "appeared to connect," said Pathologist H. Paul Wakefield, and evidently transported the cancer. He could not be more specific, because his autopsy did not include a microscopic examination of the twins' connected tissues.

Even at that, insisted the court, Klingsiek "did not denounce Dr. Martens and did not tell untruths...
Deadly Dozen. The settlement followed a week of politely barbed name calling-some of it conducted at long distance. In Washington, Senator Edward Kennedy chided Manchester for refusing to cut out the offending passages "despite the pain he knows it will give Mrs. Kennedy." In Manhattan, Canfield said that the row "has been the most trying and distressing one in a 40-year publishing career," added that if either Jackie or Senator Robert F. Kennedy had read the book, "the present situation might have been avoided." In Sun Valley, Idaho, a vacationing Bobby Kennedy paused on the ski slopes long...
