Proportionality. A catchword that, in light of the recent anthrax crisis, has not been quite so catchy.Take, for example, the Cipro craze.
Acknowledging U.S. involvement in the TalibanI am writing in response to a number of recent 'Prince' columns and letters that have attacked any viewpoint that questions whether the United States or its associates have any complicity in the attacks on the World Trade Center.
