...Buddhism 16 months ago, did the editors appraise the little-known, shadowy figure who last week emerged-big. That earlier story, "Buddha on the Barricades," examined the faith and its activist-passivist syndrome and warned that it is a force to be reckoned with. With the reckoning now nearer at hand, Tri Quang became the cover this week...
...garden of light," she says. That, combined with her native love of calligraphy, led her to study sign lettering, and soon to neon itself. "Neon is made out of a clear, light material-like glass buildings. Transforming the cultural world into the world of the laboratory, it brings art nearer to science."

Without them most economists figure that the deficit in the 1967 Administrative Budget would not be $1.8 billion but nearer $9 billion. Even with those temporary gains, the deficit may rise well beyond the expected figure. The Ad ministration has consistently underestimated the cost of the Viet Nam war; if that war continues to escalate, the President will either have to make more realistic cuts or raise taxes, or both. He will not be able to play the game of nonrecurring gains so actively next year, when keeping the budget...
