After the tour group registers at the Thang Loi (victory) hotel in Nha Trang, a block from the sea, there are two days to body surf in the warm, gentle swells, drink coconut milk and eat traditional lau soup and spicy crab, as well as view the massive brick Cham temples dating from the 10th century. Following dinner, group activity generally ceases, allowing for solitary strolls or modest forays to local markets, where simple good handicrafts and fresh fruit are available...
...twitching face that folds all over itself, Babbitt seems as comfortable on television as a moose being pelted with buckshot. On the stump he is earnestly plodding and uncharismatic. Nor is his product an easy sell. His austere economic prescriptions are the political equivalent of bran flakes with skim milk: good for what ails the bloated body politic, but not the thing a liberal Iowa Democrat is likely to choose over the buttered and honeyed comfort food that others are promising. If Babbitt advances, it will mark an unlikely triumph of ideas over imagery, of candor over pandering...
Even before Feinstein became mayor in November 1978, following the city hall murders of Mayor George Moscone and City Supervisor Harvey Milk, San Francisco and its environs had developed a reputation that would give heartburn to a Chamber of Commerce. First there was the 1967 Summer of Love, with its easy exchange of drugs and sex in Haight-Ashbury.

Next followed the kidnaping of Newspaper Heiress Patty Hearst...
...government really did want a reading on popular sentiment, the mystery is why it handled the referendum campaign so ineptly. Just weeks before the vote, authorities announced price hikes on consumer goods for next year averaging 40%, including 110% increases for food staples like bread and milk. A wave of panic buying swept the country as consumers began hoarding goods of all kinds. The approaching increases only confirmed the public's growing conviction that reform was primarily an excuse for a fresh round of price hikes. The choices posed by the referendum, said a construction worker outside Warsaw last week...
What has happened to the Italian renaissance, the new economic miracle? Observes Olivetti Chairman Carlo de Benedetti: "The party's over" -- although he hastens to add that "the party's over in the world economy." Italy may export truffles to France, but these days it also imports its eggs, milk and even its breadsticks. Worse, the cheap dollar means that Italian shoe and clothing exports are not selling very well in the U.S. Moreover, Italy's trade deficit this year, at more than $6.6 billion, is already twice the 1986 level...
