Sen.JohnF.Kerry's11-daymini-campaignonthethemeofnationalsecurityappearsunlikelytoproducesensationalheadlinesorseizethecountry'sattention—whichis,onbalance,tohiscredit.AtamomentwhenthecrisisinIraqdominatesthenationaldiscussion,Mr.KerryisresistingthetemptationtodistinguishhimselffromPresidentBushwithboldbutirresponsibleproposalstoabandonthemission,eventhoughthatcourseisfavoredbymanyinhisparty.Norhasheadoptedthenear-hystericalrhetoricofformervicepresidentA1Gore,whohastakentodescribingIraqasthegreateststrategiccatastropheinAmericanhistoryandcallingUShandlingofforeigndetaineesan"Americangulag."

Cheatingrepresentsthetriumphofthe"BrazenRule"overthe"GoldenRule",saysTerryPinkard,philosophyprofessoratGeorgetownUniversityinWashingtonD．C．"TheGoldenRulesays,Dountoothersasyouwouldhavethemdountoyou.'TheBrazenRulesays,Dountoothersastheywoulddountoyouiftheywereinyourplace.'"Manyexpertsbelievecheatingisontherise."We'reseeingmoreofthekindofpersonwhoregardstheworldasaseriesofthingstobemanipulated．Whethertocheatdependsonwhetherit'sintheperson'sinterest."Hedoes,however,seelesscheatingamongtheyoungeststudents.

RichardDienslbier,psychologyprofessorattheUniversityofNebraskainLincoln,believesthatsociety'sattitudesaccountformuchoftheriseincheating."Twentyyearsago,ifapersoncheatedincollege,societysaid:'Thatisextremelyserious;youwillbedroppedforasemesterifnotkickedoutpermanently,'"hesays."Nowadays,attheUniversityofNebraska,forexample,itisthestatedpolicyoftheCollegeofArtsandSciencesthatifastudentcheatsonanexam,thestudentmustreceivean'F'onwhathecheatedon.That'snothing.Ifyou'regoingtofailanyway,whynotcheat?"

Cheatersusuallytrytojustifytheiractions,saysRohertHogan,chairmanofthepsychologydepartmentattheUniversityofTulsainOklahoma．"Theyneverthinkit'stheirfault."Cheatersmakejustificationsbecausetheywanttofeelgoodaboutthemselves,addsWheeler."Theydon'twanttolabelthemselvesasacheater.Also,theymaybeanticipatingthepossibilityofgettingcaught,sotheyworkontheirexcuseaheadoftime."Themostcommonjustifications,psychologistssay,include:

"Ihadtodoit."

"Thetestwasunfair."

"Everybodydoesit,andIhavetocheattogetwhat'srightfullymine."

"Thegovernmentwastesthemoneyanyway."

"Mywife(orhusband)doesn'tunderstandme,andwe'vegrownapart."
