Casting the Blame. In the Buddhist faith, self-sacrifice is often undertaken to transfer the suffering of others to oneself. The martyr is usually considered a holy man so close to nirvana that he is unaffected by pain. Quang Due's premeditated act was a demonstration of Buddhist determination to force South Viet Nam's Roman Catholic President Ngo Dinh Diem to knuckle under to demands for increased religious freedom (TIME, June 14). In a will written "before closing my eyes to Buddha," Quang Due said: "I have the honor of presenting my words to President Diem, asking...
...three days after doctors gave up hope on Friday, May 31. A stomach tumor, with internal hemorrhages, had struck him earlier in the week, but it was the resulting peritonitis that now brought him near death. He lapsed in and out of comas, scarcely able to bear the pain that morphine could no longer kill. "My Jesus," he cried out in a lucid moment during his last ordeal. "Free me now. I cannot endure it.

"Art is the real history of nations," Weber said. "Their politics, their wars, their commerce are but records, as the calendar or the clock is not time itself...
...Argue. Almost immobilized by gout, rheumatism and arthritis, Milhaud teaches in his home, and his own composition is inhibited only by the pain that stops his hand from writing. "I have gotten worse in the past 30 years," he says furiously. "And in this past year, the arthritis has stopped me far too much for my tastes." Still, in his 23 years at Mills he has composed 91 works, and since 1947 he has divided his time between Oakland and Paris, where he teaches composition at the Paris Conservatory...
