...Thus the Marxist dream of world domination is palpably no McCarthyist mirage. From Indonesia, where government-sanctioned mobs howled for the ouster of a newly arrived U.S. ambassador, to Cuba, where Fidel Castro proclaimed that "the imperialists" will not prevent Red regimes from taking over throughout the hemisphere, it was also becoming clear last week that the U.S. would have to stand increasingly alone against the free world's enemies...

Its streets are virtually empty of automobiles. Instead fleets of bicycles hiss through town, pedaled silently by a silent people. "You hear the shuffle of feet," says a recent visitor, "but no squabbling of merchants, no squeals, no laughter. They don't even seem to talk to one another. You can hear the birds singing in downtown Hanoi at midday. It is strangely saddening...
