...brilliant, you have riot come up with one statement in defense of life under any conditions as Hemingway did against it: "Life on my terms or I don't want it." It is ridiculous to claim, as does Dr. Yolles, that no physical torture is sufficient reason to prefer death. The cancer patient who wants euthanasia is committing no crime against the miracle of life. There are times when proper homage is paid to life by renouncing it rather than by clinging...
...just this minute brought TIME in from the mailbox, and had to thank you for it even before I read your cover story on Julia Child [Nov. 25] Her French Chef, on WTTW, is a regular in our house. Even the children-five of them, 14 down to four-prefer it to the tripe generally offered. I don't really know if they're learning anything, but they enjoy her breathless manner of speaking, are fascinated by the way she tosses around whole fish and cuts of meat, and are rather glad they don't have...
...owners are often reluctant to risk expansion or spend for modernization. Of the 30 biggest industrial companies outside the U.S., twelve are German, ten British, but only two are French (Renault and Rhône-Poulenc). Expansion capital is hard to come by.

...backlash, said Urban League Executive Director Whitney Young, "did not materialize as much as many people had anticipated. American citizens, when the chips are down, prefer to vote their intelligence and good sense rather than their prejudices." In many races, in fact, there was something of a Negro "frontlash." Winthrop Rockefeller became the first Republican to win Arkansas' governorship by capturing 80% of the Negro vote?which turned out to be his margin of victory. South Carolina Democrat Ernest ("Fritz") Rollings' 10,000-vote margin for a U.S. Senate seat came mostly from Negro votes. In Maryland, Republican Agnew beat...
Though he would prefer to settle the dispute within the Commonwealth, Wilson has vowed to take it to the U.N. if no accord is reached by Nov. 30. If that happens, Smith has said that "the matter would be taken out of our hands," meaning he would have no choice but to declare Rhodesia a republic and sever ties with the Commonwealth...
