...produce much progress is to give a weapon to the enemies of progress. This is an unworthy argument; there are never grounds for concealing truth about public matters. (As best the truth can ever be had.) But it is also an absurd argument. The American public supports a fantastic array of social services, and does so in ever larger amounts. The issue, then, is not whether, but which...
...North has two principal objectives: 1) "to make it as difficult and as costly as possible" for Hanoi to support troops in the South; and 2) to persuade Ho Chi Minh "that the peace table is preferable to continuation of a war he cannot win." Brown marshaled an impressive array of statistics to prove that the bombing has caused "serious manpower, supply and morale problems" for Hanoi.

But this time she also brought an array of bottles containing every conceivable kind of oil, except castor oil, plus half a dozen varieties of flour, six kinds of margarine, and sticks and sticks of butter. Then, for eight straight days, Julia did nothing but bake brioches, dozens at a time. When the rest of the house were...
Considering the bewildering array of new cigarettes, smokers may well find it easier to fight than switch. As tobacco companies jockey for bigger shares of a market that, despite the health scares, is stronger than ever, the industry has erupted in what it mildly calls "brand proliferation...
