Frustrated by Washington's paralysis in the face of terrorism, Secretary of State George Shultz advocated retaliatory strikes against bomb throwers and gunmen, lest the U.S. become the "Hamlet of nations, worrying endlessly over whether and how to respond." Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger preached caution, likening a counterattack to shooting a gun into a crowded theater in the hope of hitting the guilty. That debate is likely to intensify in 1985. Meanwhile, the continuing threat forces leaders into ever tighter cocoons and inflicts on ordinary citizens the alarming realization that all are potential targets for a crazed...
...panel urged immediate and "intensive" treatment of those at risk, beginning with a lowfat, low-cholesterol diet. Such a regimen usually emphasizes fruits and vegetables, substitutes chicken, fish and lean meats for fatty ones, and encourages the use of polyunsaturated oil for cooking.

Politically, the question is one of power; who should make and control the set of standard procedures for deciding how to allocate organ transplants. Since voting majorities of the public often take sides by condemning or condoning the role of technology, legislators and policy makers respond to these extremes. Though perhaps inevitable, this response need not preclude reassessment of the relation between science and public policy. What is obvious is that science expands the frontier of our living conditions. What needs to be recognized is that science is an ethical frontier, rapidly outmoding our ways of making decisions...
