...steadily upward from his initial efforts as a schoolboy agitator against French colonial rule in the 1920s, he attracted the attention of the French Sureté, and at 18 was shipped off to the penal colony on Poulo Condore archipelago in the South China Sea, the Asian equivalent of Devil's Island. Two more jail terms followed, interspersed with propaganda work; from 1939 to 1945, he edited a clandestine pro-Communist newssheet in Son La penitentiary. Thuy was later rewarded with the editorship of Cuu Quoc (National Salvation), the organ of the insurgent Viet Minh...
Former Under Secretary of State George W. Ball was the Administration's most articulate war critic when he quit Washington for Wall Street in 1966. Candidly calling himself "the devil's advocate," he persistently opposed deepening the U.S. involvement in what he terms the Vietnamese "gluepot." Far more Europe-minded than his friend Dean Rusk, Ball believes that by making Viet Nam a major battleground with the Communists, the U.S. has failed to cope adequately with De Gaulle, jeopardized any new approach to China, and let the problem of a divided Germany fester far too long...
...Calumet Farm's Forward Pass would figure to be the post-time favorite at Churchill Downs. Winner of more Derbies (seven) than any other stable, the farm that produced such champions as Citation, Whirlaway and Armed has fallen on hard times recently: not since Tim Tam carried her devil's red and blue silks to victory in the 1958 Derby has Calumet's owner, Mrs. Gene Markey, even entered a horse in the Run for the Roses. Forward Pass is a throwback to the good old days. A rangy bay with tremendous early speed, he won last...
...Everly Brothers can match Elvis's dual line of songs--distinct yet composed of the same ingredients--that both define the pinnacle. Don't Be Cruel, Blue Suede Shoes, and Too Much led down to Teddybear, Wear My Ring, and on to Little Sister, Return to Sender, and Devil in Disguise (one of the few masterpieces in the recently-released Elvis' Golden Records--Volume 4). And while some critics have proclaimed the death of this line, the King's current smash, U.S. Male, is meaner, ornier, and harder rocking than all but the most vintage Presley. The other line, less...
NEIL SEDAKA'S credentials hardly need airing. With a style closely related to Pitney's Sedaka has created a sound--from The Diary through Carol, Little Devil, Stairway to Heaven, Breaking Up Is Hard to Do, Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen, World Through A Tear--that inevitably blends his whole work into a single medley with scarcely detectable demarcations...
