...groups. Residents of the Soviet trade center in Washington, of course, will be government officials. The Russians will allow some private U.S. firms to set up branch offices in the U.S. complex in Moscow, but capitalism's physical presence in the Soviet Union will remain a very lonely outpost. Before a company's officials can even be granted office space, they must have already established their firm as an "active trading partner" with the Soviet Union, presumably by having engineered deals that were to Moscow's liking on business visits. The few that qualify can then...
...High Tor theatre is the rarest of birds, a community theatre which involves the community in which it is located. Most of the actors, actresses and staff come from the Fitchburg area, and bring considerable amounts of energy to their eight play summer season. This little outpost of theatre in a small town well removed from the city may not be of Broadway quality but these days neither is Broadway. The rebuilt barn which houses the playhouse imposes a number of restrictions on any production, but the feeling of theatre being done for some intangible reason, for something other than...
Three nights after Whitelaw's appearance in Parliament, the worst fighting of the guerrilla war broke out. I.R.A. terrorists stepped up their sniping attack on the army outpost in Belfast's Lenadoon Avenue by rolling a bulldozer laden with a 50-lb. gelignite bomb toward the sandbagged building.

"If I had known that killing Indians was a crime, I would not have wasted all that time walking just so they could lock me up," he explained during the trial. The cowboys cooperated fully with the investigating magistrate, helpfully supplying every detail of the massacre. "All I did was kill the little Indian girl and finish off two who were more dead than...
Planting Time. Nghi has his hands full contending with an estimated 56,000 Communist troops and cadre, despite his numerically superior force. He has 255,000 men under his command, but the majority are the young and inexperienced troops of the Regional and Popular Forces. One outpost manned by Popular Forces was abruptly abandoned when the mother of one of the defenders ran in screaming that 1,000 Viet Cong were about to attack. She simply wanted her son out-and he and the others hastily left...
