...Canh, a floating restaurant tied up on the Saigon riverfront. It made news last year when a VC satchel charge ripped it and several patrons apart. As much as I enjoyed eating there, there was an indecent feeling about consuming sweet and sour pork, Carling's Black Label and fruit and nuts while listening to artillery across the river and watching the illumination flares slowly parachute down onto the countryside. It was like watching Twelfth Street riot fires from the roof of the Detroit Free Press last summer...
...same time Representative Willis (D-La.) of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) introduced a bill calling on the Attorney General to initiate blacklist proceedings with the SACB against "Communist action, Communist front, or Communist infiltrated" organizations. The bill also requires that organizations listed as "communist" attach this label to all their publicity, written or oral; that dissolution of an organization after Board proceedings have begun shall not stop investigations; and that the courts are forbidden to interfere by any means while cases are pending before the Board. The bill passed the House...
Cleverly camouflaged by Vincent Price's remarkable singing voice (which Who's Who sees fit to label "baritone"), the score to Married Alive is a tolerable item. But Jule Styne and E. Y.

During the first three months of the year, the nation's real output of goods and services declined. Statistically, the setback was minuscule (0.06%) and much too brief to qualify as a meaningful interruption in the long expansion. Having picked up momentum again, the economy passed a notable milestone in November: the 81st month of unbroken prosperity, bettering the war-fueled record set between 1939 and 1945. Over...
Along with its legislative record, each Congress writes its own short hand label: innovative or standpat, Micawberish or Scroogian, spineless or rebellious. The 90th's first session fell somewhere in between on each count. It reflected rather too faithfully the national condition of confusion and contention over Viet Nam and the urban crisis. Unable to change the course of either, its mood was often one of angry frustration. The fight over the proposed tax increase and efforts to curb federal spending flavored the entire session, giving it a bitter taste-but no tax bill and only marginal savings...
