Fall had visited this barren real estate 14 years earlier and used its nickname as the title of a book, The Street Without Joy, a chronicle of the French battle against the Viet Minh. Now a professor of government at Howard University in Washington, D.C., Fall was back, sweat-stained and bearded, to observe the perilous Street at close range once more...
Fall built up an extraordinary store of knowledge and a remarkable string of sources on seven working trips to Viet Nam, including a personal interview with Ho Chi Minh on the subject of the war.

Asked not long ago if he had plans for expansion, Bean bellowed: "Yes, we have some suspenders in the catalogue." The catalogue was his pride and joy, and Bean recently read galley proofs of the 100-page spring 1967 edition, which came out last week-the day after its originator's simple funeral in his beloved snow-covered Maine woods...
