...test, or just wonder whether someone, somewhere is using crib notes. Let uninvolved, paid proctors assume those responsibilities, as they do at Harvard. This is not to say that students necessarily should overlook clear violations. But they should not be bound by rules like Princeton's that would punish them if they were to remain silent...
...best explanation, Douyon believed, was that Narcisse had been poisoned in such a way that his vital signs could not be detected. The psychiatrist obtained a sample of a coma-inducing toxin from a bocor. The poison is apparently used to punish individuals who have transgressed the will of their community or family. Narcisse, for example, said that he had been "killed" by his brothers for refusing to go along with their plan to sell the family land.

Washington, however, did put considerable pressure on the Philippine President to appoint an independent committee to investigate the murder and "swiftly and vigorously track down the perpetrators of this political assassination .. . and punish them to the full extent of the law."

Aquino, the youngest governor and then the youngest senator in Philippine history, was thrown into prison under sentence of death for "subversion" in 1972, shortly after mounting a strong bid for the presidency against Marcos. Released...
...likewise refuse jobs to nonregistrants and that other lending institutions should deny them loans. In our opinion, such arguments are not merely unpersuasive, they are vindictive and harmful. Private institutions can make and enforce rules to promote their own organizational interests. But it is the government's task to punish those who violate public laws. When private organizations assume this role, they run severe risks of inflicting penalties that are not only ill-considered and excessive but vary unjustifiably from one offender to the next. In short, law enforcement is a public responsibility: allowing it to move to private hands...
