Surprising Turndown. Last week the government responded to a reform long urged by the U.S. by finally doing something about the blatant corruption that has traditionally attached to the powerful and tempting "warlord" posts of the corps commanders. It appointed as IV Corps (the Delta) commander General Nguyen Due Thang, the country's onetime pacification chief, who is generally regarded as one of the ablest, brightest and most honest officers in the Vietnamese army. He replaces General Nguyen Van Manh, a portly, indecisive officer who has presided over the steady disintegration of the government's Delta position...
...part of the plan. Remember the epigraph: the never spoken words which define our souls. Desire attempts to chart Anastasia Vote's soul, and it must push us into mystery.

Each symphony is also being released separately, and the Eighth, in particular, is not to be missed, as Bernstein masses his musical forces, in this case, the London Symphony Orchestra, for an impassioned yes to the whole cosmos...
...Jumping at the chance to hurt Democrats in the North, Wallace has attempted in the last year to convince Northerners that he is not just a crude racist--"My wife received 40 per cent of the nigger vote. These niggers know I want them to get educated." Instead of blatant racism, Wallace offers Northerners "sound Constitutional principles" because "I'm not running on segregation, I'm running on states' rights." That distinction makes him seem more respectable, so Northern whites find it easier to support him openly...
