...last week following the death of the Yonsei University sophomore in Seoul. Lee, 20, had remained in a coma for 27 days after he was struck in the head by a pepper-gas canister during the demonstrations that jolted South Korea for three weeks last month. As the sole death among the tens of thousands of protesters who took to the street, Lee became an instant martyr to the revolt, which had forced promises of sweeping democratic reforms from President Chun Doo Hwan. Lee's funeral prompted a new round of clashes between students and police -- a confrontation that...
...framers, determined never to give one man the authority of the European kings of their day to commit the nation to battle, gave Congress sole power to declare war. But they recognized that unity of command was essential, and so made the President Commander in Chief, thus giving him at least potential authority to order troops into situations where war might become inevitable. As early as 1801, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton were disputing the division of power.

The moderately priced food has a homemade freshness, with such creations as prettily garnished salads, bright carpaccio of beef, or steamed clams, oysters and mussels in a chive + broth.

...romantic and historic, it would be hard to beat Deux Cheminees, laid out in two antique town houses. The rich cooking, nouvelle and bourgeoise, and the friendly staff add up to delightful if fairly expensive dinners.

Green peppercorns add pungency to nicely sauteed duck breast, and the impeccably sauteed, crisp-yet- supple sweetbreads are delicious, even though their tomato-flavored sauce can be too intense...
...viewing the Goetz case as a purely racial issue, we demean what it is to be human. The sole good becomes insuring that whatever whites can do, Blacks can do too--even if it means killing young people as a result of irrational fear. Is society so crime-ridden that it is just assumed that vigilantism is all right? And is our challenge now merely to ensure that racism not prevent Blacks from having the equal opportunity to act outside the law in self-defense? The recent flurry of commentary on the Goetz case suggests that we are at such...
