...harshly a paper that I wrote about U.S. economic warfare against Nicaragua because I had not included a moral justification for such action. When I asked how this sabotage could be morally justified, this buffoon actually told me that because the U.S. had defeated Hitler and Stalin, America had paramount moral stature...

Meanwhile, some of the world's largest advertisers are simply starting up their own sitcoms. In a partnership with Paramount TV, Procter & Gamble is now airing Home Court on NBC and, on CBS, Almost Perfect and Good Company. The latter show is set at an ad agency where copywriters spent most of one episode ridiculing a "toilet paper with baking soda"--a product actually sold by P&G rival Scott...
