...regime is still putting up a tough facade. In a meeting with his military leaders, Ho Chi Minh last week declared that peace will come "only when all American aggressor troops are completely swept out of our country and the puppet traitors are overthrown." Added Ho: "I look forward to hearing of great and glorious new victories against the enemy." It is bellicose talk, but no American analyst could say for certain whether Ho really meant it-or whether it was only rhetoric intended to strengthen the Communists' bargaining position before they enter serious peace negotiations. Most likely...

...regulation court is divided into asymmetrical halves by a sagging net 5 ft. high at its ends. Using pear-shaped rackets that look like relics of turn-of-the-century lawn tennis, players bounce their serves off shedlike roofs (a throwback to the monastery cow stalls) extending around three sides of the court. Though the scoring is almost identical to that of lawn tennis, the methods of attack are different. Points are scored by driving the cloth ball off a slanting 3-ft.-wide wall called the tambour (the monastery's flying buttress) at unreturnable angles, or by knocking...
