...never before with the "other war"-the U.S.-directed pacification effort. Under any compromise reached in Paris, the political loyalties of the 12,000 hamlets that dot South Viet Nam's countryside could have a profound effect on the future of the national government. With that in mind, President Nguyen Van Thieu last October launched a major drive to secure 1,120 new hamlets before the Tet holiday next February.

They're comfortable and give your ankles support." Wet Flower is his imagination at its most antic. Stylized flowers droop over a stone inscribed: "The pain and glory are half the story, the rest being rain...

Angry and bewildered, Urfe cannot penetrate his host's series of masques. Is Conchis a wizard who can make people materialize from his mind? Is he only a psychiatrist, trying to bring Lily back to sanity by enacting her fantasies in life? Is he a master of metatheater, in which everyone must play a part? Or is he God? Although Urfe comes to fear for his mind, he cannot leave the island...
