That time is now past, and there is no doubt that its passing will adversely affect Communist morale. Ho was an impressive figure?the only truly national leader that Viet Nam has produced in modern times?and he will be missed.' In Hanoi, faces were somber and black bands of mourning appeared on thousands of sleeves. A crowd formed before Ba Dinh Congress Hall, where his body lies in state. The clandestine Viet Cong Radio, echoing Hanoi broadcasts, reported that the new wave of attacks in the South last week had been launched "to change sorrow into a revolutionary...
...Nixon Administration's caution has tended 'to blur the guidelines for school desegregation, casting doubt on the inevitability-or at least the near-term certainty-of enforced integration in the South.

...around a central character or theme. It all flaps as loosely (and engagingly) as the gossip columns of a small-town newspaper. The author obediently follows the ancient code of the village novelist. Her spinsters come in only two styles: dotty or drunk. Her clergyman predictably wrestles with doubt. The young girls are either uptight virgins or "fast." Most of the time the novel seems to take place-and to be written-around the turn of the century...
