What paper is that and in what century was the alleged comment said? I believe it's the current owner of the New York Times. The comment was something to the effect of (paraphrased) "given a choice between an american soldier and a vietnamese soldier, I'd rather see the american get shot because it's the other guy's country". Patriotic guy huh? Brian

"Pinch was a political activist in the Sixties, and was twice arrested in anti-Vietnam protests. One day, the elder Sulzberger asked his son what Pinch calls, 'the dumbest question I've ever heard in my life.' If an American soldier runs into a North Vietnamese soldier, which would you like to see get shot? Young Arthur answered, 'I would want to see the American get shot. It's the other guy's country.' Some Sixties activists have since thought better of their early enthusiasms. Pinch hasn't. geocities.com
