There is the deep suspicion that Frank Reynolds considered himself a kind of marvelous accident. Television anchoring is about 60% God-given and 40% sweat. Hairlines, profiles and mellifluous tones go a long way toward moving a man or woman into the ranks of television's stars. Reynolds was a journeyman newsman with all of the above and also a pleasant way on-camera that came from his innate decency. The celebration of such qualities just might be better tuned in a more modest environment. Frank Reynolds probably would be among the first to agree...
Though the attackers made every effort to conceal their identities, suspicion immediately centered on fanatic Jewish settlers. The apparent motive: to obtain revenge for the murder of Aharon Gross, 18, an American emigrant who was stabbed three weeks earlier as he was waiting for a bus near the market in Hebron's old Jewish quarter.

Moderate support of the government reflects a gradual but radical change at Yomiuri, which was built on suspicion toward whoever was in power...
...Three Blind Mice confirmed my suspicion that the ideologies and theories learned in college are of imperceptible value in dealing with people; and that formal education fails to prepare students to adjust to day to day life. Rather, it becomes a programmatic attempt to help young people understand human actions after the fact. The classroom situation imposes certain restrictions (limited range of readings, limited time, one teacher's point of view) on the learning experience that are necessary to prevent chaos. In the end it is simply too safe and standardized an environment to teach a person about living...
