What the Vietnamese need most is at least 20,000 more trained administrators to run each district after it has been won by soldiers. Without them, says a U.S. officer, "we can take ground, but we can't hold...
...perception that the best architectural way to capture their spirit would be in strong horizontals. The space beneath the granite and concrete court and under the elevated walkways is not wasted. In places, the platform level serves as the roof covering for campus classrooms; in others, it shelters ground-level paths from rain, and adjacent outdoor parks, cobblestoned and furnished with old-fashioned fold-up lawn chairs, from wind.

It hasn't got the theatre for the play. Shaw demands a large stage, a realistic set, and a ground plan conforming exactly to his specifications. Director Louis Criss should have realized that his small, non-proscenium, three-sided stage could never in Methusela's lifetime accomodate Shaw. But Criss's decision to do Barbara anyway shows that he doesn't understand what the play needs...
