A U.S.E.?
Apr. 28, 1947
In many a European mind the yearning was there, deep and ancient. If the partitions of Europe were dissolved, if a union of nations were achieved—might there not be more peace and plenty than the living could remember? Especially after the wars, when weakened nations struggled to rebuild, the idea grew.
In Britain this winter, Winston Churchill led 21 thoughtful fellow countrymen* in a manifesto. "If Europe is to survive, it must unite," they declared. "Since for the moment governments find it difficult to take the initiative ... let men of good will in all countries take counsel together that Europe may arise."
Last week, Churchill's summons had a response in the U.S. Eighty-one Americans, including Historian James Truslow Adams, John W. Davis, Major General William J. ("Wild Bill") Donovan, Senator Carl A. Hatch, and General Electric's Philip D. Reed, called for U.S. support for a U.S.E. Their declaration, assembled by handsome, black-haired, internationalist Count Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi (son of an Austrian father and a Japanese mother), said: "The alternative ... is a Continent permanently divided . . . by an artificial and arbitrary line of barbed wire. . . "
In the U.S. Congress a short & simple resolution was pending, introduced by Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas and Congressman Hale Boggs of Louisiana: "That the Congress favors the creation of a United States of Europe within the framework of the United Nations."

Obedient Rebel
Mar. 24, 1967
Of few men can it be said with absolute certainty that they changed the course of history. Jesus was one; so was Karl Marx. Still another was Martin Luther, friar of the Augustinian Order of Eremites, who 450 years ago posted his 95 theses concerning indulgences to the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church. There was nothing defiant or earth-shaking about the act itself—all theologians of the day publicly announced their willingness to debate a timely religious issue. Not until later, in fact, did Luther come to realize that his action of Oct. 31, 1517, was the first shot in the... |

Vote of Confidence In a Civilian Future
Mar. 24, 1967
As Premier Nguyen Cao Ky took off for Guam this week for a meeting with President Johnson, he carried in his briefcase a document—its ink hardly dry—that could affect both war and peace in South Viet Nam as much as any other item on the Guam agenda. The document was South Viet Nam's new constitution, which an elected Constituent Assembly of 117 Vietnamese citizens completed and approved ten days ahead of schedule so that Ky could show it to Lyndon Johnson. Ky and his fellow generals in the ruling military directory will now have one month in which to propose amendments or changes to... |

I don't understand the extreme hatred which western media has always had against Khomeini: He certainly was a better leader than the shah's before him, and nobody really seemed to give a **** about them.

At War on All Fronts: Once again, a frenzied Iran lashes out with fury and fanatic zeal
They jammed Revolution Avenue in the heart of Tehran last week, a million Iranians raising their fists and shouting as if with one voice, " Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!" The clutches of women dressed in black chadors, the phalanxes of men bearing placards that said DOWN WITH U.S.: the angry scene had been played out before. This time, however, the crowd seemed reinvigorated, its fury fresh and lethal. " Death to America!" they chanted in the near 100 degrees heat. Their rage rose higher still as Hashemi Rafsanjani, the speaker of Iran's parliament, called upon Allah to " avenge the blood" of nearly 300... |

Highway To Homicide
Driving the clogged roadways around Los Angeles has always been nerve-racking and deadly dull. But for the past two months it has been simply deadly. Since June 18 three people have been killed, seven injured and ten arrested, as more than 40 shootings, assorted rock throwings and other violent incidents have turned the Southern California highways into a terror zone. Last week alone brought 19 reported episodes of gunfire, five arrests and an all but surreal suggestion that the crackpot violence had spread to the skies. In the most bizarre episode to date, the pilot of a small airplane who was spotting... |

The Changing Face of AIDS
Late morning. Harlem Hospital. Doris White (not her real name), 32, pulls her thin robe across her narrow, bony chest and lights a cigarette. Her dark arms are riddled with small, round scars, the hieroglyphs of chronic heroin abuse. She is here for the seventh time in two years. In 1982 she brought her four- year-old son Rashan to this same hospital. The boy was listless, losing weight; he had white spots on his lips and tongue. The boy's father, a drug addict, had recently come out of prison and was not at all well himself. For the next few years, Rashan fought a battle he did not understand. " Mostly,... |
I just love it how they whine about crime and violence like it would be a big deal. Violence is a central part of the human nature: it's just a matter of how extreme form it takes. Ohh... kids threw rocks in southern California? Call the national guard to help us, we can't take it anymore! They've made this area into a true terror zone!
