...exciting it is to make a revolution." Dong began early, organizing student strikes in Hanoi in 1925, then escaping to China, where he first met Ho. While Ho was in a Chinese jail in 1942 and '43, Dong led the nationalist movement and has been its administrative head ever since. After France's defeat, he led the triumphant guerrilla delegation to the 1954 Geneva talks, becoming Premier the following year. Just as Ho steered an even course between China and Russia, so in all likelihood would Dong...
...traditionally anti-Chinese country. He has provided his own political label: his adopted name means "Long March," after Mao Tse-tung's epic 7,000-mile trek to sanctuary in Yenan in 1934. Chinh may be too far out on Peking's political limb to head up Hanoi's middle-of-the-road leadership. Moreover, he has been at odds with both Le Duan and General Giap. With Ho gone as a mediating force, Chinh could find himself isolated by his enemies-unless he manages to isolate them first...
Even so, only four other countries saw fit to send representatives. Jordan's Hussein was there, and so was Syria's head of state, Noureddine Atassi.

To ensure fair elections, the military council had appointed one of Ghana's most distinguished judges to head an election commission. There were triple-sealed tin ballot boxes and acid baths for destroying unused bal lots. A major reason for Busia's over whelming majority was that both par ties appealed for tribal support - and got it. The Akans, among whom Busia is a royal prince, are four times...
...third episode that keeps Spirits alive. Never Bet the Devil Your Head is Federico Fellini's first film since Juliet of the Spirits, and it is a 40-minute excursion across the surreal landscape of his boundless imagination. Never centers on a washed-up Shakespearean actor named Toby Dammit (Terence Stamp) who has come to Rome to star in "the first Catholic Western." He is hounded by his own self-contempt and haunted by a vision of a corrupt cupid from hell, a devil in crinoline (Marina Yaru), who appears before him bouncing a large and somehow ominous white...
