Meanwhile the Communist agitators are using the Buddhists' mobs for all they are worth, and at week's end the demonstrations boiled up dangerously. Some 5,000 turned out in Hué as a warm-up for the "Week of Anger" Tri Quang scheduled in the city this week. Another 10,000 marched in Danang.

To publicize his shows, Merrick with truly hippopotamic cheek has sent sandwich-board men into the streets of Manhattan encased in portable placarded pissoirs; persuaded President Johnson to accept the title tune of Hello, Dolly! (a Merrick show) as his campaign song...
