Those are really two aspects of the same problem. If your country is moving to a higher level of prosperity and the better life, then no one is going to listen to the rabble-rousers. But if you get more and more hungry and angry people, then Communists will find it easier to recruit people as guerrillas. If South Viet Nam is lost, the chances are that whoever forms the Communist government will want to be the successor of French Indo-China, which included Laos and Cambodia. Whether they will be able to go on and create a insurrection...

As the Dark Ages descended on Europe, places like Venice maintained relatively civilized standards of life.

A teacher of group therapy at U.C.L.A. before entering the service, Lieut. Commander Leonard Zunin launched "Operation Second Life" with the idea that the best help for widows can come from other widows. In a sense, he is simply employing the form of help more "primitive" societies take for granted: letting the bereaved relieve their grief by expressing it openly. Zunin sold the idea to his military superiors...
