Part of South Viet Nam's closely knit Mandarin aristocracy, the President's family commands little popular support but firmly dominates the country's political and economic structure. For all its faults, it also represents an order of sorts in a place that has been on the brink of chaos for decades. The remarkable quartet of Diem's brothers...
...chemise family is a closely knit group. Fashion-conscious females who climbed out of the sack only a short while ago now find themselves climbing right back into the sack's first cousin, the shift. Already a slender trend as winter waned, the shift really switched into high with the summer solstice.

A timely push from a collegian can change their lives and the tutor's as well. Such is the aim of the Northern Student Movement, a loose-knit, Yale-based fraternity of 2,200 collegians at 50 campuses, from M.I.T. to Oberlin to Swarthmore. They give several nights a week to tutoring about 3,500 Negro youngsters in cities all over the Northeast. Results have been undramatically good. In Philadelphia, a survey of 240 kids showed...
