...Northwest, which is the most profitable of the eleven U.S. trunk lines, wants with the money-losing carrier. St. Paul-based Northwest has earned more than $50 million in each of the past three years, flying high on routes that link the U.S. East and West coasts with the Orient. Boston-based Northeast is an odd amalgam of New England regional service, commuter runs to New York and Washington and vacation routes to Florida, Bermuda and the Bahamas. Its services to the South attract heavy traffic in the winter months, and little but heavy expenses the rest of the year...
Attempting to orient the anti-war movement toward overt support of the NLF would, however, be unwise, and perhaps disastrous. American support of the NLF will have no effect on the course of South Vietnamese politics, yet it could divide the movement in the United States enough to assure the indefinite continuation...
Thang, a Southerner, probably met Ho when both attended Saigon's Ecole Industrielle d'Extréme Orient in 1910. Involved in nationalist agitation from his youth, he found it prudent to get out of the country for a while and moved to France. In 1919, as a draftee in the French navy, Thang joined a Communist-led mutiny when his battleship sailed to the Black Sea port of Sevastopol with other Allied vessels in an effort to overthrow the Bolshevik regime. He was expelled from the service and returned to Indo-China, where...
...nearly five centuries, merchants and mariners have dreamed of opening a commercial sea lane across the top of Canada and Alaska. Venetian Explorer John Cabot, in search of a short trade route to the Orient, made the first unsuccessful attempt to sail through the frozen Arctic Ocean in 1498. Dozens of others-French, English and Portuguese-followed in his wake, but it was not until Norwegian Roald Amundsen piloted the small yacht Gjoa through the ice-choked waterway in 1906 that the Northwest Passage was finally discovered. Since then, only six vessels have completed the treacherous voyage, and the passage...
Orlovsky spent more than three years in the Orient seeking enlightenment. Countries like Cuba, Czechoslovakia and India, feeling unease about his four-letter talk and freewheeling ways, asked him to leave. Ginsberg learned enough to decide that strong drugs were not necessary for him. But with Talmudic thoroughness, he compiled a most impressive file and bibliography on marijuana, and has since arduously campaigned for its legalization. As a pacifist, he has crusaded for an immediate end to the war in Viet Nam. As a lecturer and reader, he is in constant demand at progressive campuses across the nation, where...
