...prosecutor had a point. Ohio law says that a man may be convicted of manslaughter if he commits an illegal act that could be "reasonably anticipated by an ordinarily prudent person" as likely to cause another's death.

The play is brilliant, ceaseless, and for those too shy, too polite or too slow to answer back, intimidating. More...
...moral disapproval of the Communist takeover. It was later stiffened with "containment," a strategy designed both to weaken the regime and to keep the Chinese from overrunning their neighbors. Despite a long tradition of U.S. sympathy for China, most Americans have regarded the quarantine as all the more prudent since China exploded its first nuclear device...
