...import French, British and Japanese experts. Another problem is the difficulty of gaining such expertise. A solid scholar on Viet Nam must master the Ciinese language, then Vietnamese, and also be able to handle the anthropology, economics, politics and history of that confusing country. That particular blend of ability and interest has been scarce, and it takes about ten years to train such a scholar.* The war itself, Fairbank notes wryly, should produce some men who are eager to study the area-but by the time they are ready to teach, the whole matter, hopefully, will once again be academic...
Bhutanese tapestries and wall paintings are a blend of Buddhism, Hinduism and Bon, the country's original cult of sorcery and spirit worship. There is little in them to distinguish today from yesterday. Works are not dated; subject matter is part of a continuous tradition handed down from monk to monk, generation to generation.

Dreaming up Miss Clairol, Miss Polykoff switched herself from fading blonde to "Innocent Blonde." Last week, with a new promotion under way, she was an eye-stopping blend of Radiantly Reds...
...made eminent sense out of music that is all too easily incomprehensible, and "narrator" Bethany Beardslee whose negotiation of all the weirdities of Schoenberg's technique of Sprechstimme must have been one of the most chilling and engage of all time. She seemed remarkably at case in this unlikely blend of speech, intonation and song, and hers is the supreme achievement of having made dramatic and musical sense out of a style that is usually presented as a musical oddity. The chamber ensemble of the three Schubertians angmented by clarinetist Charles Russo and flutist John Solomon produced admirably the impressionistic...
