  People v. Norman, 85 N.Y.2d 609 (1995)
On this appeal, defendant Norman argues that the trial evidence established that he was guilty of no more than an ordinary civil breach of contract and that the exacting requirements for proving criminal larceny by false promise were not satisfied.
People v Ryan (supra, at 640), People v Churchill (47 NY2d, at 158, supra) and People v Luongo (47 NY2d 418, 429), were all decided before the clarifying holdings in Jennings, Deegan and their progeny--at a time when the Court frequently intermingled "moral certainty" verbiage with its legal sufficiency analysis.
Reiterating the contention his attorney made at trial, defendant argues that the People's case against him was actually one for larceny by false promise rather than larceny by false pretenses and that the former crime should have been submitted to the jury in place of the latter.

Norman Swan: People used to think of it as a disease, but it’s not, it’s just a description of a problem in a child for which there can be lots of different reasons.
We know that people with autism have difficulties with social cognition and social interaction, and one of the most basic forms of social cognition and interaction is being able to process and remember faces, and that’s an area that people with autism have difficulty with.
I think most people believe that the so-called double-hit theory is correct, meaning that children are coming into the world with some kind of genetic make-up that makes you susceptible to developing autism, but there probably is some kind of second hit from the environment, we don’t know yet what that second hit might be.

In December 1985, five Americans were among the 20 people killed when the Rome and Vienna airports were bombed, and then in April 1986 another bomb exploded in a discotheque in West Berlin that was a hangout for American servicemen.
Large numbers of Americans, including even many of the people who had led the intervention in the Kennedy years, were now joining the tiny minority on the Left who at the time had denounced them for stupidity and immorality, and were now saying that going into Vietnam had progressed from a folly into a crime.
Of course, the claim was that most such people were neither pro-Saddam nor anti-American: all they wanted was to "give peace a chance." But this claim was belied by the slogans, the body language, the speeches, and the manifestos of the "peace" party.
