Candice Bergen poses as though she belongs on the prow of a ship-and says that she "can't think of anything grimmer than being an ageing actress; god, it's worse than being an ageing homosexual." Rudolf Nureyev romps with Cecil Beaton; Jeanne Moreau presses her fingers nervously to her mouth; Malcolm Muggeridge scowls in fearsome closeup.

The war, which used to be something remote that took place in rice fields and jungles, has come to stay in the capital ever since the first shock of the massive Communist Tet offensive last February.
