...thwarting village elections (see following story). In the Demilitarized Zone and in I (pronounced eye) Corps, the area comprising South Viet Nam's five northernmost provinces, there was an ominous upsurge in Communist military preparations, prompting the Allies to send in heavy reinforcements. North of the 17th parallel, the U.S. air war was measurably intensified by the first bombing raids within the city limits of Haiphong, North Viet Nam's second city and principal port...
...florals" differ in shape, as their names indicate, the similarity in the quality of the experience justifies grouping them togeher. But the next major group of paintings by Louis, the "unfurleds," drastically departs from the "veils" and "florals." The "unfurleds" are huge horizontally-oriented white canvases with several multicolored, parallel rivulets of paints--interspersed with bare, white canvas - cutting across thye bottom corners. The parallel strands of color in each corner act like a pair of springs, compressing the large white field above and giving it astonishing luminosity and depth. The optical oscillation of space in the earlier paintings...

Her continual references to the beliefs of her father imply that she has been corrupted by Chaplin's low generation. In a parallel scene, old Miss Gaulswallow (Margaret Rutherford) is shown as equally useless, having partially retreated into a senile second childhood...
...bombing of the key North Vietnamese port of Haiphong late last week only makes it clear what has been suspected for almost a year -- that the purpose of the American air raids above the 17th parallel has become punitive and coercive. No longer does the United States pretend that the aim of such bombing is merely to impede the military efforts of the North and boost the morale of the militarist government in Saigon. Rather, America's planners, frustrated by the understandable reluctance of Hanoi to negotiate, have decided to force the North Vietnamese to the conference table under...
