There is one small corner of war-torn South Viet Nam that has managed to maintain a separate peace. Cholon, the teeming Chinese quarter of Saigon, survives behind a Great Wall of indifference to the war-an indifference tempered only by the dictates of business. For it is from the bulging godowns of Cholon that Viet Nam's 1,200,000 "overseas" Chinese dominate almost 90% of the nation's economy. Lately, to Chinese chagrin, that precarious dominance has been threatened. After all, the Chinese of Cholon have been a target for Communist persuasion for the past...
...country guarantees us privacy within a legal framework. The Federal Bureau of Investigation [May 6] is one of the agencies that maintains this protection. It is not only ironic but almost criminal that this agency should maintain a policy that is itself an invasion of privacy.

Although the Utah Mormons claim only one direct descendant of Smith, at least 190 are Reorganized Saints, and their President, W. Wallace Smith, 65, is the prophet's grandson. The Reorganized...
...running the war in Viet Nam or solving inflation, telling Washington reporters how stupid and even corrupt they are." Retorted Fleming: "Bill Moyers made two speeches about reporting, because he shares my belief that if the press does not produce enough criticism of itself, it will not maintain the important position it has. If Tully is as good a reporter as he would like to be, he would have found out that nobody who is important to the President spends 'most of his time' making speeches...
