• Every War has Two Losers

By KAREN SPEARS ZACHARIAS WIDELY consid-ered one of West's best poets, William Stafford is revered by many for his literary skills and his pacifism. During World War II, Stafford was one of nearly 12,000 men who, because of their faith traditions, refused to fight. Instead, he spent four years confined to a Civilian Public Service camp, where he did manual labor. The men who served in the CPS received little if any remuneration, and most of them were detained until well after World War II ended.

When the smoke cleared and the votes were cast, the terrorists had won their first major political victory on the European Continent.

• Does Biology Influence Our Political Opinions?

Tip O'Neill, the former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, once said that all politics are local. He just didn't realize how local. Try genetically local or personality local. It seems that politics are biological. According to the Sept. 19 issue of Science, the journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Douglas Oxley, et. al., showed it is how a person responds to "sudden noises and threatening visual images" that determines the probability of a traditional liberal-conservative split to a variety of topics. Support for either defense spending, capital punishment, patriotism, the Iraq war or foreign aid, liberal immigration policies, pacifism and gun control were determined by a physiological response. Go figure.
