...Canadians in the dark green short pants of a kind that had not been seen in Saigon since French colonial days-seemed to be all over the capital. By week's end they, too, were sending out preliminary teams to inspect regional headquarter sites at Pleiku, Danang and Hue...
...film, set unspecifically near the turn of the century, recalls Bergman's National Theatre staging of Hedda Gabler. Here, as in that production, the dominant color motif is red of a dark, smothering, somehow vaguely menacing hue. "Don't ask me why it must be so because I don't know," Bergman writes in the Cries and Whispers screenplay. Perhaps it is because "ever since my childhood I have pictured the inside of the soul as a moist membrane in shades of red." Both Hedda Gabler and this film share, too, a careful choreography of movement, with...

Shortly thereafter two fellow soldiers who escaped reported that he had been wounded in the arm but was alive in a Viet Cong prison camp in South Viet Nam.

There was good reason for the excitement. The orange hue indicated that the lunar material may have oxidized, or rusted. That, in turn, meant that it had probably been exposed to water or oxygen. The only likely source for such vapors on the arid, airless moon were volcanic vents in the lunar surface. Indeed, some scientists had suspected earlier that Shorty Crater (which resembles volcanic vents on earth) had been created volcanically rather than by the impact of a meteorite (which is how most of the moon's craters are believed to have been formed). As they await...

At the Nguyen Hue camp in central Kontum, one refugee told TIME Correspondent Rudolph S. Rauch that he had been given fish or fish sauce only three times in three months, and had never received any meat or vegetables. Other Montagnards complained that they were not even getting their full portions of rice, supposedly 500 grams per person...
