There can be few regions outside the tropics where so many gorgeous displays of flowers, fruit and foliage bloom in such casual profusion. The Albanians are gradually enlarging and renovating existing hotels and building new ones to more exacting Western standards of comfort with an eye to eventually attracting more Western tourists. But so far, Albania lets in only a dribble of outsiders each year and carefully screens them; U.S. citizens and those of Greece, with whom Albania is technically still at war, are automatically barred from entry. They would probably feel uncomfortable anyway. In every town and village stand...
...late spring, it is back to Paris briefly, then down to a rented villa on the Riviera or, of recent years, to a bungalow at Marbella on the Spanish Costa del Sol. Autumn used to be reserved for hunting weekends, but since an eye operation in 1965, the duke no longer shoots. The duke and duchess give and go to small dinner parties with such friends as the Eugene de Rothschilds, sometimes attend the theater or ballet on gala occasions. Each December they slip into London, where they stay at Claridge's, for Christmas shopping, returning to Paris...

In "The Documentary Sublime" Stuart Davis offers...
Your story of May 16 concerning a Harvard physician's eye-witness report of the shocking civilian casualties in Vietnam helped to confirm statistics which many of us have known for some time. By conservative reckoning, we can estimate that 750 thousand civilians have been killed and 1.5 million wounded (probably half of them children) through the end of 1966. And this does not include the thousands afflicted by malnutrition and often starvation, due to normally bad conditions which have been immeasurably worsened by scorched-earth warfare...
