...Hudson Institute, are convinced that any durable settlement for Viet Nam must sooner or later embrace all the countries of Southeast Asia, providing for the neutralization of not only Viet Nam but also Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and perhaps even Malaysia. Pfaff would include Thailand (and to a lesser extent Malaysia) to balance off North Viet Nam's presence in the neutralist bloc with a prospering, pro-Western nation...
...withdrawing troops, and how many to retain in South Viet Nam? It would be splendid, of course, to have clear-cut answers to such questions. But the war itself has been messy and formless, and the from-the-ground-up solution might reflect Vietnamese realities to a much greater extent than the alternatives. At this juncture, it is difficult to imagine the Thieu government or the Communists agreeing to work together in a larger political process. One of the two might do so if it felt that the odds of settlement were clearly tilted in its favor-and the other...
...questions about past rulings and issues that might be brought before the court in the future, but it still looked odd for a judge, in effect, to "take the Fifth."

The grisly figures are expected to mount dramatically if the war does not end soon. "There is so little food that one feels guilty every time one eats," reported TIME...
...camera begins to follow a young mother and her son walking home from school; although we do not see Julie Kohler (Jeanne Moreau) following them, the boy's glances directly into the camera lens make us realize Julie's presence as that of the camera. To a limited extent Truffaut can make use of point-of-view and the consequent audience identification with Julie to prevent us from watching her with detachment, judging her without contemplation. She is after all, systematically murdering the five men responsible for the accidental death of her husband just following the wedding ceremony. The relative...
