Half the job was getting the news out. "The public telex office was jammed day and night," reported Flamini. "The overloaded wires became more erratic with frequent breakdowns and wrong numbers. One correspondent waited hours, only to discover that he had transmitted his entire story to a Scandinavian machine-tool factory with a call sign similar to that of his paper." Eventually TIME'S team got their report over the wires to New York. Their files, along with Jim Wilde's in Nairobi, provided the material for this week's cover story written by Spencer Davidson, edited...

This is a disservice to the college and to its students because it dilutes the diversity on campus: the individualists tend to move off-off, and the more group-oriented seniors...
Both in his legislative program and in his frequent visits to the countryside, Thieu is plainly striving to extend the sway of his government beyond Saigon. Many legislators, content to serve and deal in the capital without building a political base in the countryside, are unsympathetic to his efforts and are often outright obstructive. It remains to be seen for how long Thieu, in the midst of his struggles to stabilize the economy and strengthen the army, will put up with such tactics before taking more severe steps to curb the powers of the kindergarten...
