...discussions I had expected. During the polemics, the armband wearers bustled about with ludicrous selfimportance, contributing only rudeness and epithets to the "search for alternatives." There appeared to be no cognizance of the complexity or even the reality of the situation in Viet Nam. The entire problem seemed to boil down to being for or against the burning of Vietnamese children. During one of the intermissions, however, my dismay was dispelled when I heard a bright-eyed young coed squeal, "Oh, I feel so anti." I left comforted by the thought that the whole simple-minded display had nothing really...
...forest went up in flames-precisely as U.S. planners had figured. Then came the sort of absurd disaster for which the Viet Nam war has become famous. The intense heat of the Boiloi boil caused the wet, tropical air overhead to condense into giant thunderclouds. The "thermal convective condition," as U.S. Air Force meteorologists later defined it, triggered a drenching downpour that doused the forest fire and left Boiloi's Viet Cong safe and unsinged in their caves...
...when official Moscow finally reported the committee's decisions at week's end, they seemed to boil down to another effort to deal with Russia's chronic economic problem: agriculture. Kicked upstairs to a party secretaryship was Supreme Economic Council Chairman (since 1963) Dmitry F. Ustinov. Replacing him was onetime State Planner Vladimir Novikov, 58. Ustinov's other post as First Deputy Premier went to a Byelorussian apparatchik, Kirill T. Mazurov, 50. Though Khrushchev's old ideological czar, Leonid Ilyichev, was also bumped aside, Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev laid most emphasis on the agricultural mess...
...Your sneering little accounts of "Life-Italian Style" [Feb. 19] amused me, particularly as I had just finished reading about Life-American Style in the preceding pages. But when I reached your Law section, you really made my "hot Italian blood" boil! I ask you, is it pure coincidence that the rate of juvenile delinquency in divorceless Italy is one of the lowest in the world? Is it more civilized to tolerate the sporadic "irregular" situation that exists among a small percentage of the Italian population or the legal hanky-panky we have in the U.S. concerning marriage and divorce...
...always neat and nice when the stories leaked out. At 56, and despite a 1955 heart attack that was, by Johnson's own account, "as bad as a man can have and still live," his energies are enormous. Through the year, he was a geyser at perpetual boil. There were imprecations and outbursts at foes and friends as he occasionally wandered over what Kennedy called "the edge of irritability." In some, he seemed perilously impetuous. But never, so far as anyone knows, when the national interest was really at stake...
