...charges against me, in particular that my views are those of the founders of the Third Reich, which, were it so, would, among other things, impeach the professional resources of TIME magazine for not having discovered this signal piece of intelligence in the course of preparing a cover story on me. I write to you because I care what you believe, and because, in the same issue of TIME magazine, you exhort all of America to indignation. I don't see a better provocation to indignation than Vidal, and it surprises me-hell, it pains me-that your writer...
...Covering North Viet Nam's Ho Chi Minh over the past 25 years has never been an easy journalistic assignment. Even the name is an alias. It translates as "he who enlightens," yet few Western news men have seen him, much less sat down for an interview.

...inefficient workers. The Government collects no figures on job vacancies to match against its thorough reports on the number of workers unemployed. More surprising, no one really knows how rapidly wage costs are rising this year. The Government currently tallies only wage-and-benefit gains in union contracts covering 5,000 or more workers, and these contracts affect only 10% of the U.S. Labor force. Fuller wage data is compiled only yearly, if that often, and it does not cover fringe benefits. No figures at all are collected on the pay of state or local government employees, although they make...
