...Vietnamese guerrillas during that final offensive. On the whole, Burchett says, the Western press failed miserably to cover the war--and this argument has been supported in a series of books by American correspondents, who agree that their inability to speak Vietnamese and their location in Saigon kept them from one whole side of the war. The Western press "never understood the nature of the war," Burchett says, and it is hard to take real issue with...
Price says the former president did not receive a copy of With Nixon until three weeks ago, when proofs of the 400 page book became available from the publisher. Nixon, he says, had absolutely no direct input in the writing of With Nixon. "I've quite consciously and deliberately kept a line between my book and his," Price says, adding "I made a point of not stealing from him."

Looking for a way to remove the excess iron, the Rockefeller scientists turned to bacteria and fungi...
...observed, depends on an inflation of small anecdotes. About Balthus, none are in circulation. At 69 he has no public face. When André Malraux made him director of the French Academy in Rome-a post Balthus held for 16 years until his retirement a few months ago-Balthus kept fastidiously to himself even as the secular cardinal of Villa Medici. His output is small. He rarely exhibits; Balthus' last New York show...
