...There's nothing like good special effects to get an A." Guided by that standard, Senior Robert Eichen, 17, set to work on a film about drugs and violence for his high school Creative Media class in Alton, Ill. (pop. 39,700), an industrial city about 20 miles northeast of St. Louis. The film was to be only five minutes long, but four characters were to be stabbed, beaten or crushed to death...
...Soviet rockets turned away the Zaïre-based F.N.L.A. forces ten miles north of Luanda, thereby putting the M.P.L.A. capital safely out of range of Chinese 130-mm. artillery manned by white Portuguese Angolans fighting with the F.N.L.A. The M.P.L.A. also recaptured the important road junction of Caxito, northeast of Luanda, and was closing in on the coastal city of Ambriz, which has been a vital supply center for the F.N.L.A. At the same time, the northward thrust of a combined F.N.L.A.-UNITA force, spearheaded by mechanized armor, was stopped along the coast, 150 miles south of Luanda. Slowed...

In fact, it is the history of a pre-Columbian city called Teotihuacan (the Aztecs' word for "the place the gods call home"), once a metropolis of as many as 200,000 inhabitants 33 miles northeast of present-day Mexico City. Archaeologists long regarded the city -famed for its Pyramids of the Moon and the Sun and avenue-like Street of the Dead-as a ceremonial center inhabited largely by priests and their retainers. Now, new discoveries suggest that between A.D. 400 and 700, Teotihuacan...
...more concerned with Northeast Asia-Korea and Japan -than with Indochina. The Viet Nam earthquake may yet shake loose the fragile peace on the Korean peninsula. Fired by the Communist victory in Indochina, North Korea's President Kim II Sung seemed to some observers to be on the verge of invading South Korea last spring; he even went to Peking to seek Chinese support but came back chastened. China, he learned, wanted the Korean situation to remain peaceful for the time being, with an American garrison of 42,000 men as a counterweight to the Soviet presence in Siberia...
