Stop the Music. Saigon's suburban battle seldom makes the headlines. It is still largely the sentry's war of short, sharp encounters: the bark of a close rifle, the sudden cough of automatic weapons, the crump of a single mortar, occasionally a scream as a knife finds its way through a rib cage. An "incident" may be anything from the skirmish of a dozen men to the blare of a propaganda bullhorn; whatever their nature, incidents are on the increase along the Gia Dinh perimeter.

...would make it seem that Warner-Lambert has long been a dynamo of invention. Actually, 90% of its drug sales come from products more than ten years old, which is practically a century in that business.

Praising the ban on low decolletage and high eroticism, the widely circulated China Post two weeks ago deplored "the gimmick of using sex as a selling point for everything from cough drops to synthetic fabrics. Advertising in Taiwan is often an offense to good taste and an insult to the intelligence." The advertisers have been somewhat more cautious since the law's passage, but, Asia being what it is, the prohibition is expected to be ignored before long...
