Nestled among emerald rice fields and sheltered by the Marine-garrisoned Danang hills, Ap Quang Nam was a showcase village. Passing Marine patrols and their frequent guests were greeted by smiling "hello-okays" from the hamlet's neatly dressed children. Ap Quang Nam's market bustled with black-pajama-clad women, hunkered down to argue prices. One band of men and women sifted gravel to sell to a Danang construction firm-the village's latest self-help project.

Arthur Miller? Sir Alec Guinness just opened in Incident at Vichy. Musicals? Hello, Dolly! has Mary Martin, no less. Chekhov? Sir John Gielgud and Claire Bloom were great in Ivanov. There was also a new Hamlet, starring a 24-year-old flash named David Warner. Also plays by two of Britain's most important newcomers, Harold Pinter and John Arden...
