...ranks of Southern-based units; it now has more than 100,000 men fighting in South Viet Nam, constituting 50% to 60% of the Communists' forces in the field. Supplying them has become steadily more difficult and dangerous, particularly since the Allies have so tightened their control over rice-growing regions that in some areas Communist troops are now, says Westmoreland, "literally on the verge of starvation...
Deft Touch at Power. The street scene was the most dramatic display yet of Suharto's blossoming as a strongwilled, articulate leader.

She has the vocal equipment too-power, range, a rich, natural voice and a keen instinct for drama-but at this stage of her career it is marred by an occasional lack of control, exaggerated effects and some forcing at both extremes of her range. Also, she may be gambling with her voice's future by singing taxing roles at such an early age. Still, such all-or-nothing assaults on the heights are in the spirit of Callas' own career, and the older soprano may have...
