China's assault on Viet Nam was expected and well advertised. Tensions had been building up ever since Hanoi's forced expulsion of ethnic Chinese last spring, Viet Nam's lightning rout of Peking's client regime in Cambodia last month, and an intensifying series of incidents on the China-Viet Nam border. Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-p'ing repeatedly and publicly telegraphed the punch during his U.S. visit this month, railing against the "hegemonistic" ambitions of the Soviet "polar bear" and against Vietnamese "aggression" in Southeast Asia. Hanoi "has to be taught a necessary lesson," he warned. In Tokyo...
...once the punishment had been meted out, the troops would withdraw. But in capitals around the world there were shudders at the ominous global implications if the war were not contained and short-lived, if it were to provoke direct Soviet intervention or retaliation on behalf of their Vietnamese client. It was a heyday for alarmists: "I would bet that it won't happen?but we are very much in danger of a third world war. It could be starting at this moment," warned New York Senator Daniel Moynihan.

In a way, Place acts like an interface between the child and the more institutionalized network of social agencies. After having having had a few days to overcome crises, many kids are able to work out their problems...
China, the country that Mao Tse-tung promised would always be Viet Nam's "reliable rear area," began to get really exercised about its neighbor's actions last Christmas when the Vietnamese invaded Cambodia, whose regime was a Chinese client. After Viet Nam's forces ran Premier Pol Pot out of Cambodia's capital, Phnom-Penh, and seized control of that country's other cities last month, China's Vice Premier Teng Hsiaop'ing began talking of taking "punitive action...
