...cover story was edited by Ron Kriss and written by Bob McCabe and John Shaw. They were able to draw on the reminiscences of Frank White, a former TIME Correspondent and now a Time Inc. executive. As a major in Hanoi at the end of World War II, White met Ho for a chat and a whisky three or four times a week, and gained many insights into the man's mystique. "When you interviewed him, he was always interviewing you," recalls White. "You got the impression that he had been isolated for a long time. He would...
...peoples of Asia are capable of carrying stoicism." Dong once told a French visitor: "We Communists are romantics, too. You don't know how exciting it is to make a revolution."

Even then, such by-products of the acquisition as sumptuous Paris headquarters and storage facilities may still make their investment worthwhile...
Last week 202 specialists in half a dozen sciences met at the University of Rhode Island for a roundup conference on the progress and problems connected with mining the seas for drugs. Almost to a man, they complained of lack of funds-a shortage intensified by recent cutbacks in governmental grants-and proclaimed their support of Senator Warren Magnuson's bill to set up a National Institute of Marine Medicine and Pharmacology. In speech after speech they pointed out that the vast majority of all known forms of animal life are found in the sea, which they expect...
