...Tuol Leap, only six miles to the northwest of Phnom-Penh's Pochentong Airport, fell into rebel hands for the third time since the start of the offensive. That put the airfield within range of the highly accurate U.S.-made 105-mm. howitzers that the rebels have captured. Constant shelling of the runway in mid-March forced the U.S. to suspend cargo flights for two days. With the insurgents once again zeroed in on the airport, it may be impossible for the U.S. to keep the supply line open...

He wrote about mass culture in America and took digs at high culture, and he was a constant target of attacks in The New Yorker. The New York Review of Books and other toney magazines...
...ller's inflatable house is indeed unique; it has 210 square meters of floor space, the ceiling rises nearly 16 ft. at its apex, and the entire structure is held up by a constant flow of air pumped through a plastic umbilical cord by a small electric motor outside.

...play has been moved up three centuries to the France of De Gaulle in 1966. This does not seem to affect The Misanthrope one way or the other, possibly because social mores remain remarkably constant. One may demur at Adapter Tony Harrison's decision to render the entire play in rhyming couplets. While these are agile and clever, they are somewhat distracting to an ear attuned to English prose in the theater. A hint of Gilbert and Sullivan enters the playgoer's mind and lightens what should essentially be a dark comedy. Leaving that aside, the redcoats have...
