...Vietnamese officials. - Saigon's creaking dockyards, once a crucial brake on the war effort, have been more than doubled to handle 380,000 tons of cargo each month. An increase to at least a 650,000-ton capacity is planned for next year, but bottlenecks still abound...
...modern, luxury high-rise apartment houses that now line the west end of Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills and Westwood. Still, for all the city's growth, there remain many areas of country living deep inside the city limits, where hills and valleys, treed lawns and wild animals abound.

Mushroomburgers & Sundaes. Los Angeles is the holy temple of the American cult of youth.

Moviegoers may take it or leave it; but those who stick around will probably want to amuse themselves by counting phallic symbols. Snakes and falling timber abound, and Mademoiselle's metaphor for the act of love is an ax blade buried in lumber. Xenophobia, pyromania and sundry aberrations are touched upon, while Genet catalogues the destructive power of Woman. On the night before the woodsman is beaten to death by the villagers who suspect...
