...world situation has changed dramatically, and American involvement in Viet Nam can and must change with it." Since the major U.S. Viet Nam buildup began in 1965, the U.S.S.R. and China have grown more hostile toward each other; Communist-courting Sukarno has been turned out of power in Indonesia; other Asian nations have made great economic gains. The region is now better able to withstand a weakened Communist challenge...

East Germany's Walter Ulbricht, Hungary's Janos Kadar and Bulgaria's Todor Zhivkov vigorously defended the Soviet positions. Most likely, the Soviets could be confident that when the conference ends, probably this week...
...largely responsible for the success of TIME-LIFE INTERNATIONAL, which directed the company's operations in nearly 100 lands; of acute infectious hepatitis; in Manhattan. Trained in economics, Baker oversaw the development of T.L.I, in its formative years, sent TIME into virtually every non-Communist country, and organized a fortnightly international edition of LIFE for Spanish-speaking people. More recently, as director of corporate development, he helped lead Time Inc. into a variety of new ventures, among them Boston's Little, Brown & Co., the publishing firm...
