...much has been said lately about a coalition government for Saigon, a possibility Washington rejects on the grounds that such a regime would quickly be taken over by the Communists. Last week, however, the Viet Cong endorsed a possible coalition candidate. He is General Duong Van ("Big") Minh, 53, a popular leader of the 1963 coup against the Diem regime who is an old rival of President Nguyen Van Thieu. Speaking at a press conference in Paris, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Binh, the chief negotiator for the National Liberation Front, said that "we would be ready to begin conversations" with...
...would the N.L.F. endorse "Big" Minh, a staunch anti-Communist who has disavowed any ambition to head a coalition regime? It is hardly a secret that the amiable general is no strongman. The Communists are confident that any Minn-led government would soon fall apart, leaving the N.L.F. to pick up the pieces. Lately, Minh has been sniping at Thieu's policies and presenting himself as a neutralist alternative. Last week Minh proposed that the country's allegiance to the Thieu government be tested in a referendum or by "some other formula." Thieu has ignored...
...windup of his two-week tour, Soviet Cosmonaut Georgy Beregovoy announced that New York was strictly Endsville: "Saturated. Tense. Not fun at all." But the burly general was not all that bored.

Beregovoy did not even look up. The official led Paine away, then went...
Rutgers Anthropologist Lionel Tiger thinks there is going to be a general revolt by women, which will involve such deep-rooted human conditions, biological as well as economic, that it will make the black problem look comparatively easy to solve. Brooklyn's Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman ever elected to Congress, says on the basis of eight months of travel in the U.S. that the revolt has already begun. She herself, she feels, has been more discriminated against as a woman than as a Negro...
When he died in 1907, Augustus Saint-Gaudens was solidly established as America's greatest sculptor, the creator of heroic public monuments such as New York's equestrian General Sherman, Chicago's standing Lincoln and Washington's Adams Memorial. His smaller, more intimate portrait reliefs are equally distinguished-naturally enough for an artist who started his career as a cameo cutter. In the first major exhibition of Saint-Gaudens' work in 60 years, Washington's National Portrait Gallery assembled 56 pieces, including portraits of such public figures as Architect Stanford White and Writers William...
