...change in Ky has come swiftly and dramatically, partly the result of accident, partly of the kind of political intrigue with which Viet Nam seems to abound. Before the Communist Tet offensive, Ky was much more than a ceremonial Vice President alongside his rival, President Nguyen Van Thieu. Liked by American officials in Viet Nam, who admired his charm, his boundless energy and his decisiveness, Ky retained powerful friends in the Vietnamese armed forces-an entourage rated strong enough to overthrow Thieu if it ever came to a showdown. But with Tet and the harrowing onslaught against the Saigon government...
...leafy esplanades, elegant restaurants and sunny sidewalk cafes-lies a ring of small communities with names like Aubervilliers and St. Ouen, Boulogne-Billancourt and St. Denis. No soaring monuments to Western civilization grace their drab and grimy streets. Instead, the stigmata of the worst of the 20th century abound: the sprawl of brick factories, the grey, faceless slabs of low-income housing projects. All day big diesel trucks thunder up and down belching fumes, their oversize tires slapping the ancient cobblestones. This is the Red Belt of Paris, so called because most of its towns have Communist mayors...
...musical numbers that somehow fell apart before they ever could get started. Coming a little later, England's Beyond the Fringe had little music and a lot of satire.

Back at Math, some of our people say that the "jocks" they were fighting had handcuffs on their belts. Band-aided noses abound and are a mark of distinction. We discuss alternative plans for feeding Low and someone suggests blockading the jocks--"If they run out of beer they're through." In the meantime, hundreds of green armbands (for amnesty) are throwing food up to the Low windows. We decide on a rope...
...Feet of String. Bare midriffs abound. Adele Simpson, who likes to hitch together the top and bottom of her bare-midriff dresses with gold chains, says, "Women want their bodies to speak after they have gone in for the exercise, the massage, the diet. They also want to show off another thing they have been working all day on-their tan." For James Galanos, the bare midriff means skimpy bra tops worn with long evening skirts. Bare midriffs are also fine by Mollie Parnis, who links together the bra tops with silk knots or a big ring. Donald Brooks adds...
