Photographs tell us that Indochina may never recover from the brute force of American violence. The imprint of the war on the American conscience is just as indelible. The war will end-if not this year, then four years from now. But after the fighting stops. Americans may finally be forced to grapple with the enormity of what they have done...
...half-century since its founding, Time Inc. has become a broadly based communications company. Visionaries though they were, neither Luce nor Hadden could have predicted in 1922 the course their company would take. The corporate imprint of TIME-LIFE is now on books, films, newspapers, broadcasting, cable television, recordings, audio and video cassettes, fine arts reproductions and educational material.

But soon freeways stamped man's imprint on this heartland too. Each great road had the potential to become "a work of art, both as a pattern on the map, as a monument against the sky, and as a kinetic experience." Of course, the roads bred more cars, and cars bred what Banham calls "a coherent state of mind." One symptom: the emphasis on driving everywhere, a "willing acquiescence in an incredibly demanding man/machine system." Another: the customized...
