...noticed on various occasions the name of the late President Woodrow Wilson ridiculed by university publications at a time when that name was most unpopular among the Italian students; but never was their language in any way discourteous or defamatory. I think, Mr. Editor, that for the sake of sane judgment, which is due to all men, including Mussolini, it would be will for our critic to resort to less ambiguity in his mad search for humor.

...these words seem the utterances of an oracle. Yet an oracle can have its tongue in its cheek, as Croesus discovered. Indeed, the sincerity of the editor of the jade journal for jaded tastes has long been a moot question. To assume the clear of a Machiavelli in serious, sane, and democratic America is to insure some notoriety. Mr. Meneken often prefer being exactly notorious to being notoriously exact.

In that event, the Coast Guard in the eyes of every sane person will be guilty of nothing short of murder. It lies in its power to forestall any such eventuality and modify its tactics to restore rights of citizens. Its duty perhaps includes the stopping of many boats, but there must be ways of stopping them without shooting at them. And even if it means a few boats get away...
