The piece then shifts to praise for jojoba oil research as an example of the value of funded science.
A reader argues that letting Americans suffer in Communist prisons is preferable to decisive action. The letter contends the Pueblo crew suffered under inaction while Mayaguez incidents prompted stronger responses. It asserts the addressee would trade others’ safety to avoid personal risk and claims the addressee won’t admit a key point.
Harrington argues for steadfast defense of liberty amid oppressive regimes. He warns that exposing prison life in the Red Paradise forces hard choices, stating rulers may seek to ban dissent. He predicts Reds would celebrate if the Philippines fall, framing a call to resist tyranny.

An Observer column argues the postwar policy divide stems from divergent lessons of World War Two.
