...sort of music box in which tiny lords and ladies, shepherds and shepherdesses perform an elaborate, unchanging dance. Portuguese Author Monteiro has constructed his odd novella of life in modern Lisbon like one of those antique music boxes. The effect is quietly damning. The figures are a rich man, Gonçalo, his empty-headed wife, their idealistic young son, Gonçalo's stupid mistress Alexandra, and António, an old schoolmate fallen on hard times. As the key is wound and the book begins to tick, Gonçalo meets António. Then he sees...
...week began with the Buddhists pressing their riots against Huong and the U.S. In Nhatrang, there was a repetition of the grisly tactics the Buddhists employed in their 1963 campaign against Diem: a pretty, 17-year-old girl, Yen Phi (Flying Swallow), burned herself to death.

...Vote. One major worry to both Goldwater and Rockefeller in New Hampshire was a hyped-up write-in campaign for Henry Cabot Lodge, U.S. Ambassador to South Viet Nam. In Sai gon, Lodge dodged questions about it by claiming that his diplomatic position did not allow him to discuss politics. But he refused to call off the campaign. His eager New Hampshire workers were busily buying television time for a five-minute Lodge campaign film that was made in 1960-and narrated by Dwight Eisenhower. Besides that, Lodge people planned to mail out 94,000 sample ballots this week, showing...
