Shoot the Mayor. After the first clash between the government's tough airborne troopers and the demonstrators, Ky summoned an extraordinary session of the nation's generals and officials, who flew in from all over the country. They agreed to call a Congress in one or two weeks to work out the composition of a constitution-making assembly. In a press conference afterward, the mercurial Premier, puffing on Salems and nibbling from a plate of candy, made the angry charge that the city of Danang, where demonstrations were spreading, "is already held by the Communists, and the government...

The Charles is the confused, slowly evaporating result of sporadic attempts by often conflicting interests "to do something about the river. But it is more than just a clash of private interests-- conservationists and industrialists, motorboatmen and fishermen, real estate developers, utilities, universities--that has put a strangle-hold on the Charles. In its 72-mile course, the Charles meanders through 21 cities and towns, most of which jealously guard their right to regulate that part of the river that passes through their...
