Here's a interesting selection from Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov that someone thinks resembles Slick: "A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and, in order to divert himself, having no love in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest forms of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal, in satisfying his vices. And it all comes from lying -- lying to others and to yourself."

Andrew: Putting aside the politics and the philosophical struggle involved, Vietnam was about chromium for our missiles. There are very few regions on earth that have chromium, the former Soviet Union being one, another, Vietnam. At the time (1950s - 1960s) America was getting the majority of chromium from Vietnam. This metal was an integral part of the production of our missile warheads, including ICBMs. Without it the Cold War might have gone hot. FT
