...American involvement. Besides, ideological conflict is susceptible to detente, and there is something in the nature of religious war that is deeply intolerant of accommodation. The combination of Communism and nationalism is, of course, a powerful force for ideological upheaval, providing saints and messiahs-Ho Chi Minh, Mao, Castro-and an accompanying mythology and faith. There, too, the overriding faith validates any behavior on behalf of the visionary goal-which in the Marxist case must be achieved in this world, not the next. Some Communist leaders now, how ever, especially those in Western Europe, have begun insisting that...
...huge receptacle owned by Boston Gas, where a spacy artist named Corita was hired to make the tank more "colorful." Intentionally or not, she came up with a few broad paint strokes--the blue one, at a good examining glimpse, is a profile of none other than Ho Chi Minh, with his wispy beard curling to a point at the bottom.

The event described was an exhibition of 40 TIME cover paintings, and Golda herself was there to peer at her own portrait by Boris Chaliapin. The exhibition has been seen in seven countries. Last week it opened at the U.S. Cultural Center in Madrid. The critics on the whole have been approving, although some have taken an occasional...
Eventually, the U.S. will have to recognize united Vietnam. But the Vietnamese consistently stress their independence of other countries, including the Soviet Union and China. "Without the cold and bleakness of winter," Ho Chi Minh once wrote, "the warmth and splendor of spring could never be. Misfortunes have steeled and tempered me, and further strengthened my resolve...
