...last, the repertory theater network has its white hope: Preston Jones, 40, author within three years of three new plays as indigenous as hominy grits. Lu Ann Hampton Laverty Oberlander, The Last Meeting of the Knights of the White Magnolia and The Oldest Living Graduate-known collectively as A Texas Trilogy-were brought to public attention on a typically Texan scale. Two New Year's Eves ago, Dallas Theater Center patrons experienced a triple-play production of all-night Jones that began at 7 p.m. and lasted through 2 a.m. Since then, Jones' trilogy setting, the mythical West...
...Trilogy, the moral polarities of Bradleyville are defined in all their loneliness by Southern Baptists and Red Groove's bar. Lust exercises itself on Saturday nights in dusty pickup trucks at drive-ins, and pays for itself in house trailers.

Chief victors so far: the three Tay Son brothers, Nhac, Lu and Hué, who started a rebellion four years ago against the tyrannical and inefficient regime of the Nguyen family. Originally bandits in the Robin Hood style, the Tay Sons soon gathered enough peasant supporters to challenge the Nguyen armies in the field. This spring they captured the settlement...
...about the crucial importance of political education and the necessity to remain vigilant against "revisionist" ideas. Party officials take seriously the problem of retaining ideological purity and preventing the leadership from hardening into a "new class" of privileged bureaucrats. In recent weeks two high education officials, Tsinghua University Chief Lu Ping and Education Minister Chou Jung-hsin, have been angrily accused by students of "revisionist" practices?meaning too much emphasis on technical excellence and not enough on ideology. Two weeks ago, in the traditional New Year's editorial, China's newspapers celebrated the achievements of the Cultural Revolution...
