...Peking. To have headed the CIA, championing its cause when so many critics were clobbering it, is now an unanticipated political plus. Finally, Bush, too, has changed, shedding his New England-bred modesty and campaigning with the zest of a man willing to boast of his past and proclaim his future: "I can feel it in my bones. I'm going to be President...
...obscurely humiliating. It is impossible to watch the nightly news on network television without being treated to a stream of 30-second treatises on hemorrhoids, tampons, feminine deodorant sprays and constipation. "I want to talk to you about diarrhea," says the earnest pitchman. T shirts, sweatshirts and bumper stickers proclaim their aggressive little editorials. Some are mildly funny (a woman's T shirt, for example, that says so MANY MEN, so LITTLE TIME). But often they are crude with a faintly alarming determination to affront, even sometimes to menace.

Elegantly beautiful, it also boasts what may be the most flexible and workable cluster of theaters in the country...
...extraordinary number of victims in Third World countries! Such perverse logic reflects the bankruptcy of a World Court to deal effectively, honestly, and realistically with serious grievances. In light of this it becomes evident why the Iranians had to transgress diplomatic principles in order to proclaim their sovereign rights. They could have initiated procedures for a hearing, but the prospect of unravelling a long, legal red tape simply did not correspond to their fervent need to administer justice. And to dismiss the Iranians' protests as fanatical is to grossly distort the historical conditions which have precipitated them...
