tinction

Even we humans have achieved the dubious technical dis- tinction of being able to make our own disasters, both intentional and inadvertent.

The mod est achievement of Cloak and Dagger is to dramatize this dis tinction.

That dubious dis tinction was left to Edward VIII, who reigned for exactly 325 days and then gave up his crown for "the woman I love," a Baltimore divorcee by the name of Wallis Warfield Simpson.

In 1956 he orated himself into the Senate, where his most obvious dis tinction is to be that body's youngest member.

In that inebriated, early-morning hour when a celebration teeters between ex tinction and new adventure, carousing officers of Guatemala's ragged Liberation Army rolled merrily through the doors of La Locha, a much-favored Guatemala City bordello.
