...talks are to succeed. One possible formula: the "Greek solution," under which the Communists?as in Greece after the end of its civil war in 1949?would be allowed to operate as a legal party, after laying down their arms and renouncing terrorism, but would initially be denied Cabinet-level representation...
Heart of Hué. Some 25 miles to the southwest of Hue lies the A Shau Valley, a lush, weird world of fogs and swirling mists during ten months of the year. Some 25 miles long, the valley floor is 2,000 ft. above sea level. The jagged, spiny peaks on either side rise 5,000 ft. to 6,000 ft. and are covered with a triple-canopy jungle 100 ft. tall.

Researchers must study education at the microscopic level--in the ghetto classroom--to learn what is really wrong with ghetto schools. The small informal community classroom offers just as much opportunity for close and productive study as the stale, standardized school room. And in any case, working in the ghetto more and more means working with it or not working...
