TIME'S first office in Saigon was a cramped hotel room. TIME correspondents, in fact, continued to operate mainly out of hotel rooms until May of 1966. Then Bureau Chief Frank McCulloch, now head of LIFE'S Washington bureau, rented a villa in the city's downtown district-a convenient if not commodious structure located between the Presidential Palace and the new American embassy.

Although a number of West German officers are mixed in with other allied officers in the NATO command structure, in practical terms the Bundeswehr is an extension...
...only thing that all Irishmen agree about is that you're wrong. In fact, even that statement would probably fetch you a fight in any decent Dublin pub. So before a word is said about the Irish character, let it be stated that very few Irishmen have it. The Irish character, if the truth be told, is a silly joke played on the English, and is only kept around for the sake of the tourists...
