There were disturbing Labor Day incidents last week in Hartford, Conn., Camden, N.J., and Fort Lauderdale, Fla. In the present calm context, they seem somehow atavistic-only smaller recurrences in lesser cities of the convulsions that racked major metropolises much earlier. The whites and blacks of minor urban centers are still learning the lessons that have brought a hopeful Thermidor transformation to cities already tempered in destructive flames. For New York, Newark, Chicago, Los Angeles, Cleveland and Detroit, it was the fire last time-and those cities may have profited from the experience...
...with the piped-in music of Mantovani and Kostelanetz. And he has already had some luck: his post-purchase survey of the land showed that it was not 21 but 26 acres in extent-a five-acre bonanza that Nixon's advisers estimate could eventually be worth as much...

Ho moved almost as drastically in the industrial sector, only to see most of the results of his nation's efforts in capital investment wiped out by U.S. bombs. Consumer goods are in short supply, and quality has slipped. A thirsty Northerner, for instance, often must queue for two hours simply to quaff a glass of weak beer. Each adult is allowed a scant four yards of cloth annually. At an angry meeting of the United Women's Organization...
