...superficial concessions to adopt an optimistic "wait and see" response to the crying moral questions about involvement with the Shah's government--the same response the University has made to investment in South Africa. The rest of us should not be fooled. A regime that has lived by the sword of repression can only be expected to survive and eventually to die, by that same cycle of repression. It is because that cycle has been so unusually cruel, and has brought so much misery to the Iranian people, that those of us who have watched the recent uprising from afar...
...taint [Farber's] martyrdom," wrote Charles B. Seib, ombudsman of the Washington Post-the paper whose Watergate reporters, Woodward and Bernstein, have made more money from investigative reporting converted into books than any other journalists in history. FARBER CASE DULLS THE EDGE OF THE PRESS'S SILVER SWORD ran the headline in the Post over a column by a Pulitzer-prizewinning reporter, Haynes Johnson. Now it was Rosenthal's turn to get testy.

While Kojak and Columbo have retired to reruns, their places will be filled this fall by such heroes as Kaz, Eddie Capra, Jack Cole (Sword of Justice), Joe Casey (Waverly Wonders), Joe Kelley (Grandpa) and even Professor Charles Kingsfield Jr. (Paper Chase). It's enough to drive a viewer krazy...
...love is giving of oneself to another, but so intimate and noble, so loyal and trustful, that in a way it claims everything, and in another it excludes everyone. That love is a decapitated love if we admit reservations, a temporary nature, and rescindability. So that divorce is the sword of Damocles hanging over conjugal love: its presence generates uncertainty, fear, suspicion...
