...enhance the N.L.F.'s aura of independence from Hanoi, Madame Binh and her five colleagues have taken special pains to dissociate themselves publicly from the representatives of North Viet Nam. She whisks about Paris in a rented black Citroen DS-21 flanked by two motorcycle policemen; the Viet Cong flag, a yellow star against a field of red and blue, flaps conspicuously from the fender. Her limousine has stopped at the Quai D'Orsay, where she paid a courtesy call on Herve Al-phand, former French Ambassador to the U.S. and now secretary-general of the French foreign...

But in splendid Asian fashion, a decision that satisfied everyone was reached. Prizes were given out to entries from Japan, North Viet Nam, Canada and the National Liberation Front. And the Grand Prize? It went to The Little Prince, produced, directed and written...
...insight into the passions aroused by the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. The document, a Red Guard pamphlet obtained in Hong Kong, purports to be the minutes of a meeting of the Peking leadership with rival Red Guard factions from the still troubled Kwangsi Chuang Autonomous Region that borders on North Viet Nam. There, factional strife had drastically curtailed rail shipment of aid to Hanoi. Exasperated officials summoned Red Guard leaders to an acrimonious conference in Peking, where the rebels were interrogated by the leadership, including Premier Chou En-lai and Kang Sheng, the Chinese Communist Party's expert...
