...unlikely to be put on Pentagon projects again, he has made a relatively small sacrifice in material terms. Any prestige accorded him by the conservative or moderate establishment is now extended ten times over by the liberal establishment and by his younger audiences. He claims to have withdrawn his intelligence from the service of power, but we do not know--as, in fact, Ellsberg may not--what his position would be under a McGovern administration.

There is a 45-day waiting period, for example, before sperm can be withdrawn from the bank-long enough to prevent an already pregnant woman from using artificial insemination as a cover-up for an illegitimate baby. That waiting period does not apply, however, to a man who wishes his sperm destroyed: that can be done immediately, the Depositor's Handbook guarantees.

The prospect of closer relations between Washington and Peking poses new problems for South Korea, as it does for other U.S. allies in Asia...
