Recently, the first 24,000 moved into new wood-and-tin huts at seven villages near Hai Lang in Quang Tri province. With their teeming marketplaces, the new communities are virtually indistinguishable from villages elsewhere in Viet Nam. Yet U.S. officials wonder how these people will fare on the poor soil after their government supply of rice runs out in six months...
Smith showed his class in the first match against Nastase, 26, keeping his cool while the gallery of 6,500 partisan fans shouted "Hai, Ili-uta!" ("Go, little Hie!").

...carries any great stigma among most South Vietnamese, who are weary of a war that has gone on for 25 years. One reason is that family allegiance has traditionally been recognized as the highest loyalty, greater even than that due to one's country. Men like Tran Van Hai are protected by a closely knit community that admires their struggle to avoid military service. Another reason is the pervasive corruption that permits all but the poor to buy their way out of army duty...
