...without its "torture and brainwash" school. All carried on with the best of intentions, of course. However, when all the evidence was in as to what actually went on in the POW camps of North Korea, it transpired that extremes of physical violence were the exceptions rather than the rule, occurring, it seems, to something like less than 1% of the prisoners. Mistreatment was far more apt to take psychological rather than physical forms. Our artillerymen are now (presumably) well aware of the extent to which they can be physically maltreated; are they equally aware of the far more common...

In the Ohio tragedy, there was an obvious FAA radar foul-up. Yet the chutists had broken every rule in their own book, rules that in any event are largely voluntary. Aside from the cloud regulation, no federal or state agency pays much attention. The theory apparently is that the only lives parachutists risk are their own. But that is a dubious assumption.
