Delicate Balancing. Other food, medicines and soft goods arrive by ship from North Viet Nam and China at Sihanoukville, Cambodia's outlet on the Gulf of Thailand. They are then trucked over the U.S.-built Friendship Highway to Pnompenh and sent to the border bases along routes that the American military has named the Sihanouk Trail. Occasionally, V.C. guerrillas buy surplus Chinese small arms from local Cambodian commanders, but this is strictly local enterprise by Sihanouk's low-paid officers...

...notebook of a benign confessor. Most of them are about women-beautiful and rich, wise and foolish, vital and declining, ensnaring and ensnared in a love trap. Or if not in love, then remembering what it was like and regretting the flight of passion. Maurois' women give to friendship only what they steal from love; they give to love only what their husbands have forgotten how to take. His couples are always married but rarely to one another. They change lovers the way Americans trade cars. The transfers usually take place for the same reasons-novelty and the pride...
