...General Van Tien Dung, 57, chief of staff of the North Viet Nam People's Army since 1953. A loyal Giap disciple and master logician, Dung is the youngest member of the Politburo of the ruling Lao Dong (Workers) Party. He was born to a peasant family in Ha Dong province in the North, joined the Communist Party in the 1930s and spent about five years in a French prison before escaping to China in 1944. A year later he took command of Viet Minh forces in the Red River Delta and in 1946 was made responsible...
...Ha'olam Hazeh, and Knesset Member Arie Eliav, 53, former secretary-general of the Labor Party, who resigned his membership last month protesting that Rabin's Labor-dominated coalition government was "bereft of all vision." Avneri, who has long pursued a private dialogue with Arab intellectuals, believes that Israel ought to recognize the Palestine Liberation Organization before Washington does, which would foreclose Israeli options.

Ames's Raina such a flighty creature, that the Shavian prospect of sincere and kindly intercourse never dares rear its gentle graying cranium on stage during the next 90 minutes. What does appear...
Firm Believer. Anatomists of the Perelman corpus may detect a slight twice-breathed air here, as well as in "Nostasia in Asia," the five-part piece that concludes the collection. Some of the ground and most of the mock dudgeon are reminiscent of Westward Ha! (1948). That magnificent Middle Eastern curse, "May you live a thousand years and a trolley car grow in your stomach annually!" appeared at least once before in The Rising Gorge...
Whether they call it the blues, a case of the hoo-ha's or "free-floating angst," nearly everyone has wrestled with depression. Cures are various, and likely to be temporary: a cold shower, a new hat, pills, a chat with a doctor or a friend, or simply repeating to oneself that "tomorrow is another day." Many people push a burden of inexplicable sadrtess through half a lifetime like Sisyphus with his famous stone, and try to believe that they are happy just the same. But when Author Percy Knauth fell into a depression, none of these things worked...
