Some in the first batch of returnees had acquired a certain celebrity while in captivity. One was Lieut. Commander Everett Alvarez Jr., 35, of San Jose, Calif. Shot down over North Viet Nam on Aug. 5, 1964, he was the North's longest-held captive and became a leader of the prisoners during the long ordeal. His homecoming was destined to be less joyous than he might have hoped. His wife Tangee, whom he married in 1963, got a Mexican divorce in 1970 and remarried. Meantime, his sister Delia became a bitter critic of the war. "It is very...
Forced Evolution. Until now, a vaccine to combat a newly evolved strain could be prepared only after the event (TIME, Aug. 21). Ideally, as Professor Claude Hannoun explained it, scientists would like to anticipate all the antigenic changes that nature might make in the next few years in the virus' protein coat. But how to anticipate nature? That would require capturing all the Hong Kong derivative strains now available, growing them in the laboratory and attacking them with different types of antibody. Most would be neutralized, but in this artificial equivalent of the Darwinian process of natural selection...

Mild Joke. Press Critic Ben Bagdikian recently focused attention on the paper when he ranked the Eagle (along with the New York Times and Paris' Le Monde) as one of the world's three "great newspapers" (TIME, Aug. 28). Washington Post Editorial Writer Stephen Rosenfeld, an ex-Eagle staffer, thinks that Bagdikian was "charmed as an outsider to discover that there exists in the Berkshires a paper that appeals to the New York Times reader." Eagle Managing Editor Kingsley ("Rex") Fall says: "We're proud of what we do, and we hope we're getting better...
