...long war, no one knows just how many civilians have been attacked by the Communists. The U.S. has listed well over 100,000 separate incidents of terrorism against the South Vietnamese population since 1958. During the past eleven years, the Communists are known to have killed more than 26,000 South Vietnamese, injured hundreds of thousands, kidnaped at least 60,000 in their campaign of terror...
...tough, pragmatic survivor of the Long March era, Li has taken on more and more of the ceremonial duties of the Foreign Minister during the past year.

There are no cases of disloyal, treacherous or cowardly Teddy bears. They seem destined to survive everything and emerge as a triumphant symbol of something or other...
Right or wrong, that statement is a classic example of the thinking now creating turmoil in U.S. financial markets. Attention has focused on its impact on the stock market, where traders are increasingly depressed by the fear that inflation, and with it tight money, will continue indefinitely. In the past three weeks the Dow-Jones industrial average has dropped almost 50 points, to last week's close of 812, barely above the year's low. Trouble is much worse in the bond and mortgage markets, the nation's primary channels for funneling savings into the construction...
