...Shockers abound. A butterfly is burned alive, and a Buddhist monk pantomimes immolation. An American G.I., in the form of an enormous skeletal death god, hangs in front of the proscenium with blackened doll babies in its eye sockets, a Superman shield on its chest, barbed-wire guts and a six-foot bomb in place of genitalia. An American colonel is satirized as being "anti-Communist, anti-queer, anti-drink, anti-cigarettes." At the end of the first act, the entire cast appears onstage wearing paper bags over their heads. Whimpering, they stumble over the footlights and into the auditorium...
...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...

The ghostly visitations over that swamp near Ann Arbor, Mich., last March happened too recently to have been included in either book, but sincere testimony to the miracles of the space age abound like grace. Samples: Intrepid small boys with .22 rifles near Rio Vista, Calif., last December got in some shots at a UFO hanging about the town water tower and extorted a satisfactory twang and an angry red glow from the visitor. Some Italian farmers pelted a UFO near Milan in October 1954 with rotten...
