...destruction of the two lumber plants, a lot of dry lawns, a trailer park, a few houses on the town's edge, and Deadwood Dick's famous cabin in the woods. It was a nightmarish ordeal all around, but in the telling of tales that makes old Deadwood a paradise for tourists, it was bound to get much worse until, ultimately, it might even rival the tales of Deadwood Dick himself, and of Wild Bill, Calamity Jane, Poker Alice, and that mean coward Jack McCall...
Into the ranks of dissenters to U.S. foreign policy steps a new recruit this week, armed with an old-fashioned philosophy and a newsman's restless mind. He is Max Ways, 54, longtime TIME senior editor (FOREIGN NEWS, NATIONAL AFFAIRS) and foreign correspondent. U.S. foreign policy, writes Ways in Beyond Survival (Harper; $4), is headed for a dead end.

...bite unless you are prepared to swallow," says an old Ethiopian proverb, and a good bit of swallowing is ahead for Haile Selassie in return for his take of the East's goodies. Several thousand refugees from the rule of his great friend Tito are due to be deported back to Yugoslavia soon. Chinese envoys, disguised as journalists, have already arrived in Addis Ababa in hopeful anticipation of Ethiopian diplomatic recognition of Red China. And some time next year, the Emperor has been warned to expect a visit from Communism's senior traveling salesman, Nikita Khrushchev himself...
