Speaker. an honest judgment is often obtained when. removed from the immediacy of a situation. speculation and passions fade into the background and the simple reality of events emerges. Anthony Lewis column "The Politics of Death." written in London. achieves such a perspective. His comments on the future of the Vietnam war are stripped of the rhetoric and emotion which too often clothe less removed observations. I quote from Mr. Lewis column: In the six years since those marines landed. American weapons have killed upward of 200.000 civilians in Indochina and made several million people refugees. Whatever the original reason. that scale of destruction is an indecency. That drives home the horror of this war.
