...more slowly than many of them wished?he eventually adopted most of their escalation options. He, too, vastly underrated the tenacity of the Communists, and continued to employ massive air-power even after his own experts had discovered that it might actually be strengthening the North's determination to resist. Badly buffeted by events and advisers, Johnson was both commendably hesitant and condemnably conniving. As usual, he both infuriates and elicits sympathy...
...when the experiment began. Although most of them are now moving into Stage 4, their problems are far from over. As Kohlberg himself acknowledges, moral judgment does not ensure moral behavior; it is hard to act justly in an unjust world, especially for those too weak to resist temptation. Prison rules are often unfair, and prison staffers are not necessarily much more moral than inmates. Outside, released prisoners may find a society that may not help reinforce their new-found morality; although U.S. democracy is founded on Stage 5 thinking, Kohlberg estimates that fewer than one out of three Americans...
...jell for a time, as its predecessor had begun to do. It seems to lean toward a different Supreme Court role: providing calm at a time of dislocation and national self-questioning.

Its price has made the painting different, of an order other than art. Museums, which should resist this syndrome, tend to exploit it. Thus the Metropolitan got untold mileage out of the fact that it paid $5,544,000 for its new Velásquez, which therefore became more "interesting" than other and greater paintings in its collection. The picture becomes a tourist object to be gawked...
Physicians who examined the ten patients were unable to detect any clinical differences between the two groups. Nor were the addicts themselves able to distinguish between the drugs. All ten were equally able to resist the opiates to which they were addicted. For the present, 1-methadyl acetate is being produced only for investigational purposes and is not available for addiction-treatment programs. The Jaffe-Senay results are encouraging enough, however, to stimulate testing on a large scale...
