Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled!
Eternal peace is a dream --and not even a beautiful one. War is part of God's world-order. Within it unfold the noblest virtues of men, courage and renunciation, loyalty to duty and readiness for sacrifice--at the hazzard of one's life. Without war the world would sink into a swamp of materialism. Further, I wholly agree with the principle stated in the preface that the gradual progress in morality must also be reflected in the waging of war. But I go farther and believe that [waging war] in and of itself--not a codification of the law of war--may attain this goal. - Helmuth Karl Bernhard Graf von Moltke

Alfred Wolin Ordered Off Three Asbestos Cases
Started 2004-05-18Ended 2004-05-18
An appeals court voted 2 to 1 to remove judge Wolin off of three of the five asbestos bankruptcy cases he was residing over for allegedly showing bias toward asbestos victims. Per legal experts this is a rare thing to happen in civil proceedings. Kensington International had called for the ruling since it had $250 million dollars invested in Owens Corning debt. Even one of Kensington’s own lawyers Lawrence Robbins stated “It is unusual for a litigant to seek a judge’s recusal. Litigants don’t do it lightly. Something must be really quite wrong”. Something was not really quite wrong though seeing that the judges that ruled against Wolin said that he had not “done anything wrong or unethical or biased”. How is one removed for the “appearance of bias” when the judges of the appeals court directly stated that he had not done anything biased? The three companies cases he was pulled off from were W.R. Grace, Owens Corning and U.S. Gypsum.
