...movies with highly charged political messages concerning the morality of America's foreign policy values and wars. Coming Home and Apocalypse Now are two examples. These movies also have a simplistic and unyielding world view: that America's anti-communist ideology is intellectually immature and therefore our wars against communism are immoral crimes against humanity. Yet I have never heard anyone describe such militarily isolationist views as "reasonless xenophobia."

There is no limit to the number, of course, of the members of the ruling party who aspire to the presidency. Many of them are highly qualified. I think it is a wise decision for the leadership not to speak of this kind of succession unless and until we are through with the 1986 and 1987 elections...
Yale's Band follows a practice of "selfcensorship," according to announcer Charles L. Rosenblum." But at a recent Yale-Army football game, the Yale band was prohibited from taking the field when Army's Athletic Director disapproved of the script, which made references to communism...
