...anniversary of the start of his government's strategic hamlet program, under which 59% of the South Vietnamese people have been brought into villages surrounded by moats and bamboo fences. As if in celebration of the event, government forces beat back a violent Viet Cong attack against a network of villages around the city of Quangngai, some 250 miles northeast of Saigon, where the government set up a successful fortified village complex in an area that the Reds had previously controlled. Departing from the usual Communist hit-and-run tactics, a battalion of Reds attacked the hamlets under cover...
...ship into a narrow canal, thousands of Dutchmen showed up to watch the disaster. But Verolme had made laboratory tests and even practiced at home with a small model in a tub. The ship was launched without incident-and so were 59 others in his network of yards...
...Gardner bolsters his case by an analogy to the Jew who pays "institutional lip service" to equality but "vigorously upholds a segregated network of schools and homes." We Jews who have access to the rich cosmopolitan life of the University and the world of the intelligentsia may look askance at the Jew who "chooses" to "segregate" himself.

The melting pot is an opportunity not a duty. This insistence in nationalistic uniformity...

A friend thus describes Eduardo Barreiros Rodriguez, 43, the chainsmoking Spanish industrialist who, in partnership with Gulf Oil, is busy building a network of 500 auto service stations across Spain.

But in 15 years, he parlayed his family auto repair shop into a $670 million industrial empire (diesel engines, machinery, electrical equipment) that ranks among Spain's six largest private enterprises. Barreiros has just signed a contract to produce diesel engines, trucks and tractors in Colombia. He still lives...
...ghetto might impart an equalitarian strain to the emergent Negro middle class, but they might just as likely foster a deep and powerful opportunism. One need only consider the Jewish middle class in New York, a generation removed from the pograms of Eastern Europe, yet vigorously upholding a segregated network of schools and homes. The institutional lip service that Jews pay, to equality through the B'nai B'rith precisely parallels the sanctimonious references to civil rights that free the consciences of Atlanta's Negro middle class...
