...lights in the bars on Tu Do Street in downtown Saigon gleam through the moist monsoon night until the capital's 11 p.m. curfew. But a scant ten miles away on Saigon's rural edges, the huts grow dark with the dusk. Lights are as likely to attract a Viet Cong bullet as a mosquito. Their backs to the glow from the city, South Vietnamese troops and their U.S. advisers settle back for a long night of watching-and, above all, listening. For the perimeter surrounding the 400 square miles of Gia Dinh province, which includes Saigon...
...businessmen how much they can raise prices and wages without bringing on inflation. The Council of Economic Advisors created the guidelines* three years ago, basing them on the doctrine that U.S. wages should rise only as fast as improving technology allows industry's output per man to grow. The council's conclusion, based on long-term estimates of productivity: prices and wages should not rise more than 3.2% annually.

Its offices were in Chicago, but Shuman decided it was best for his four children to grow up on the farm. After nine years, Shuman moved into the top spot of the national organization in 1954. Ida, whom he credits with having provided much of his drive, died four months before his election...
...begins with the birth of twins-an event so supernatural that the mother secretly consults a seer. The seer predicts that Peter and Paul will fight with each other in life as they have already done in their mother's womb. And so it turns out. When they grow up, both brothers fall in love with the lovely Flora, and she with them. This impasse is climaxed and, in a way, resolved in a hallucinatory scene in which Flora passes inward through their eyes until she penetrates their souls. Once inside their secret selves she finds them-identical...
